I Don't use MS Office, unfortunately. You are going to have a lot of people say just try LibreOffice, but that does not work for everyone so I understand the hesitation.

Yeah, I've tried and still am trying, lol. I'm still going to move the rest of my stuff to Linux, regardless, but I need one box with an operable copy of MSOffice at least for now.

I'll definitely keep EndeavourOS on my list of distros to try, especially because it has all the resources of Arch behind it. That's a huge plus on its own. Thank you for taking the time to reply!
