You are right though. It was named a Bill, now it is named an Act :-) https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/publications/bills-acts/

This exactly. I'm an engineer but day-to-day I'm mainly using the Office shite (I tried for suite but ended up with former and happy to run with it) to do my job. The amount of extraneous effort I have to make to do tasks that would have been simple in 2005 is completely ridiculous. Yet on my home computer running Arch BTW, I can do everything instantaneously, the only downside is that some supplier I don't really care for wants my presentation in pptx. If it wasn't for work data security requirements, I'd just use my personal equipment for everything because I'd be able to work so much faster.
Edit: not to mention a lot of FOSS software is better than the professional bullshit (AutoCAD needs to die), it's just a lot more effort to get up to speed with because colleagues around you don't know it (yet)
Pbtech is one of the major retailers. Their reputation is so-so (in terms of service level and dealing with warranties) but at least will give you a good benchmark on what you can buy and it's cost.
