My take: Linux users (including myself) are biased. While we would love to share our enthusiasm for Linux with others the simple truth is NO, you cannot just use Linux in the same way you would use Windows. We would argue the Linux way is just as easy not easier in a lot of ways. But it is a different system with a different way of doing things and if you are not prepared to learn anything new then it will bite you eventually.
And you can’t use MS Office natively either. And no, Office 365 is not exactly equivalent nor is LibreOffice.
That being said I haven’t used Windows outside of work in years and if you’re interested and have some kind of technical knowledge or interest I would highly recommend it. It usually takes a couple of attempts before it “sticks”.
