  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    The day MS Office comes to linux (never?) normal people will definitely start using it (or their employers will force them to use it at work).

    Unpopular opinion: Microsoft Office suite sucks in UI and UX. LibreOffice is far superior to it.

    Counter point: people who like a office suite like it because they know how to use it

    Gonna say I hated my experience with some of the LibreOffice apps, especially Impress. PowerPoint (and for that matter, Onlyoffice) is far superior in terms of layout.

    I second you brother. I can't find shit in office suit, it's like they hide things on porpoise.

    They will move the goal post and complain about something else Linux does or doesn't do.

    Hasn't Office worked under Wine since forever?

    (And if not, what are the show stoppers?)

    [–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Newest versions don't work very well. The only over that worked consistently got me read 2010.

    I think part of the issue is that it's quite integrated with the system and that makes it harder. Crossover lists 2013 as working, but 2021 as not even installing

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    2010 is out of support

    Also if you are talking about a business they are never going to use Wine. A Windows VM maybe but not wine.

    [–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

    Being OOS doesn't change that they read the last one that worked consistently for me. I'm not recommending to use it, just stating my experience.

    Not sure were the business comment comes from.

    I actually don't like ms office any longer. I used to use Open Office, and I kind of miss it. But I see your point, businesses still use this nonsense.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

    It is losing popularity
