Also, is Linux support for Vulkan up to the task? (Genuinely curious, I haven't paid much attention to that since I stopped gaming)
Implementing a Vulkan driver should be easier than implementing an OpenGL driver, and my experience using HD7870 and the open source radv driver has been quite good so far. I'm sure there are a few bugs though.

Its blocking my family to moving to Linux actually. They just need office and work with files other people send as docx , pptx etc

This is literally what I was wondering about.
It's a GTK+ application, improvements will come from KDE's GTK+ integration.
But they could just threw VCL away and support every platform in one go by using Qt.

For me, I'm the one making and sending out documents. Libre works just fine for me because because I export everything to PDF first. I can say "it's good enough" because, for my needs, it actually is. Damn near any office suite will suit my needs so that really isn't saying too much. If "export to/save as PDF" works with Adobe Reader, the office suite suits my needs.
