Mike,

Are you turning an old laptop into a Chromebook?

If you have a Gmail account, you can upload any Office suite-type file to GDrive and open/edit it there :)
That is the philosophy of the Chromebooks, i.e. you are doing all your work on the 'Net.

I vaguely recall double-clicking on a .docx file on a pen drive and it opened in the browser via Google Workspace (I don't have a Chromebook handy to verify it)
Give it a try and let us know if it works.

(PS Chromebooks do not have a lot of storage.  I'm not sure one could install the entire LibreOffice suite via the Linux Developer shell)
