you want 'electron everything' putting google in control of all your apps, but you don't think they're customer focused enough to do the OS ? That sounds like its not gonna work well... (You could problably use how well Chrome has gone as a rough indicator...)

I don't want electron everything. I prefer native FOSS everything. Electron is actually the property of Microsoft (via GitHub [0]). So at least for Office there are no extra parties. And again, no I don't want it, but I want app parity with Windows so my kids school can't force me to put Windows on my machines. And no O365 in the browser is not ok, it offers a very poor experience imo. Just using the tab key in Excel online is maddening, although I expect one could get used to, I don't wish it upon my kids.

  >>What I'm missing is Electron-everything. You actually said you wanted electron everything? Also, since electron is based on chromium...I sorta thought it was close enough to make my point.

    What Is said was indeed "What I'm missing is Electron-everything." TFA lists the new directions of distros, I'm missing "Electron-everything." in that list (Electron gives us new major apps we never had before and will continue to do so). I'm certainly not missing it in my life. Native O365 on Linux is unrealistic, they are even electronifying it on Windows. A bit of a miscommunication there.
