Im new to this. Recently heard that Microsoft will be taking screenshots of our screens every 3 seconds? Thats so disgustingly invasive and im done.

Id like to make the switch to Linux and i think it was be very doable for most of my purposes, but the only thing I cant leave behind in Microsoft Office. I need it for work. Is Wine the Windows emulator glitchy? Is is easy enough to install for someone who isnt particularly tech savvy? Also if anyone knows if it will work with a collaborative drive on my computer? I use Egnyte for work. Im not sure how to explain what it does using the proper terms, but its basically a software that is downloaded in to my computer drive and its connected to the web so other everyone in the company can access everything easily. The vast majority of those files are Microsoft Excel. So does anyone know if this will work the same way with Wine?

Also, is Google Chrome secure ? I really like using Chrome as my browser because I can log in on my both personal and work laptop and all of my bookmarks and passwords are available. People seem to like Firefox on Linux, does Firefox have this capability as well or maybe there is another browser im unaware of?
