I would like to propose the idea that you might want to consider LInux Mint as an alternative to Windows OS, but especially LibreOffice as an alternative to MS Office, as a method to help protect the rights of the individual.
It is pretty clear that at least 3 very wealthy people that made their money from microsoft have heavily funded anti - rights measures, such as recent ones in Washington State. One way to reduce their influence is to stop sending them money, and move away from their products.
Apple and Google are not much better, but there is a way to at least have some effect on their wallets, and that is to move away from MS Office to LibreOffice.
I started using LibreOffice about 2 years ago, entirely for economic reasons, but over time it became clear that I was growing tired of the direction of windows software, and using LibreOffice enabled an easy conversion to "something else".
If you have not used LibreOffice, it is very similar to MS Office, but instead of spending $300-500 a seat to MicroSoft and their anti-rights leaders, you can use that money on what ever you want.
