It really depends on who is being helped and the motive for you “helping” them. I’ve had both really good and pretty bad experiences helping and trying to help people with various computer things. As with providing any kind of support, it’s important to get out of your own head and understand what the person your helping wants and needs
Both of my parents heavily use O365 and I have to fight the urge to suggest linux every time they complain about automatic updates or weird microsoft integrations.
Part of me really wants to try Fedora or Mint for them instead of the incoming windows 11 update, but it’s such a bad fit

also don’t help to gain approval, help who already cares about you

If they don’t use advanced features like macros, they could just use the Web versions of the M365 apps - they work just fine under Linux.
