Google workspace has a fraction of the functionality. At a base level they're relatively comparable. But once you go into more advanced functionality and security, 365 is a landslide better.

Office365 is slow and broken. I don't really know what your talking about

Claims without facts, got it. UI can be slow, sure. Mostly admin side. Outlook, excel, word, etc all work fine.

I can only speak from experience. It is probably subjective.

In terms of the basic office utilities like text editor, spreadsheets and so on, Google is a good contender. But Google Workspace isn't even close to the functionality IT admins have with Microsoft Defender, Intune, Entra, Purview, and so on.

There's a lot more going on at the administration side than just the user's experience, that could make it less ideal to move to Linux.

I'm saying this as someone who hates both Microsoft and Google.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
