The article doesn't mention which Linux distribution was chosen. I'm curious about that, since in my opinion it can make or break the project. It's also possible that multiple distributions were used for different cases, which could make sense.
As for user-friendly options, I think Ubuntu and Mint are the best choices right now, with Mint (Cinnamon Edition) being a better fit for users coming from Windows, which seems to be the case here.
Also, I recently switched from LibreOffice to OnlyOffice. I find its UI and UX much better. That said, I'll look into the licensing aspect mentioned in the article, maybe LibreOffice aligns better with my values.
