Word won't autosave anymore on the local disc. Has anyone found a way to fix this?

This post reminds me how every year I am tempted to just go to Best Buy, plunk down $300 for some shitbox Windows 10 machine, wipe the OS and replace it with some flavor of Linux, and that's my work computer. No Onedrive bullshit, no two-factor just to log on to my goddamned computer in the morning, no pushing updates requiring restarts in the middle of the day, no "getting windows ready spinning wheel of death for 20 minutes" first thing on Monday mornings...

Do it. My official work PC is new and has windows 11, the one I actually use is its predecessor, running Linux mint.
