  Office 365, which I refuse to use for my personal computer.

  I still use some Office apps from 2006 (Visio, Project) because they serve my personal needs.

  Work? That’s my employer’s problem.

    Isn’t using out-of-date apps a security vulnerability? Visio 2006 hasn’t received a security update since around 2012

      Sure, but if you’re not opening random untrusted files, or trying to browse the interwebs through it what’s the chance of there ever being an issue?

  I need visio. Is there an open source or paid alternative that works on Linux?

    Off the top of my head: LibreOffice Draw does what Visio does.

  I was a windows user until last year. Work has me migrated to Mac and at home I just can’t be arsed with Microsoft anymore. I won’t ever install Win11 and with Proton I probably won’t have to.
