30 Days Using Linux in a Windows-Only Office — The Results Surprised Me

I used Linux for 30 days inside a Windows-only, Microsoft 365 office to discover whether Ubuntu 24.04 can actually replace Windows 11 for real professional work. From Microsoft Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint and Office 365 to LibreOffice, VPNs, RAM usage and Windows-only software, this real-world Linux vs Windows experiment reveals what worked, what failed, and where Linux surprised me. After 30 days, Linux became my default OS for roughly 85% of my work, while Windows remained necessary for a few specialized workflows—showing how practical switching from Windows 11 to Linux has become in 2026. #Linux #Windows11 #LinuxVsWindows #Ubuntu #Ubuntu2404 #Microsoft #Windows #SwitchToLinux #Linux2026 #Microsoft365
