Office applications (Excel, Powerpoint, PowerBI, Word) is one area where I can't have any friction with using these application, since that I get my income. I need the latest version of these application for desktop, web version does not cut and Linux emulation seems very spotty unless you are OK with using a much older version of office like 2013/2016.

I am planning to buy a new laptop, might be worth trying to switch to Linux on the laptop and experiment with emulated Office solutions (while always having a reliable fallback on desktop).
