    Try out librewolf or softmaker (there is somewhere a free version) and other alternatives of programs that you need that at best are foss and at worst also run on linux.
    That way you get a smoother learning curve

      I already use LibreWolf. Not sure what softmaker is, though.

      I am not allowed to leave Windows, though

        Softmaker is libreoffice in word look, also proprietary but a better licence model.
        Its the next best thing to libreoffice for people who still wanna use word.

        Its sad that you dont have the option because options are awesome but you still can try to use as much libre and software from better companies as possible

        Not because of switching to linux but to take care of your data and getting resilient against enshittification

          LibreOffice is good, I use it and, for my use cases, it works.

          Yeah, it sucks. Can’t go into much detail, cause of an NDA. All I can say is, read the Terms and Conditions of Use. You never know in what situation you might get yourself into
