If you want to work in the office and not the shop. Why not do a remote login?
I have a few small Raspberry Pi type computers and an iMac with a large screen. I always work from the Mac and log in to the Pis with the screen or just a terminal exported to the Mac. You can use VNC, X11 or just ssh. No need to install LinuxCNC on the office computer.
