I have got a question for all the #tech people out there with experience regarding #hp and #Linux
#Windows11 is being rolled out and I probably will have to set up my Laptop again. Never used #Linux on a PC, so how about:
Do #Linux distributions support HP omen 17 (2019) ?
If so, which one would you recommend for chiefly MS Office use (64-bit Excel a must) ?
How difficult is a set-up for a non-IT pro who has always worked with Windows (but installed systems)?

Trying a USB stick version is actually an excellent idea!–Maybe I can even access my two SSDs again, which the “very compentent” HP service technician made inaccessible when he tried upgrading the BIOS last week.

Thanks, I’d agree re/ Libre Office or the browser version for 90-95% of the people.
Unfortunately, I do Excel spreadsheet developments, and I’d rather need “Excel 2025.” ;)
Apart from that, I do not want to store spread-sheet or doc-data in any clouds for privacy/security reasons.
#Wine sounds interesting. The question is, does it limit performance?
