Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • 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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    • Word? Markdown/((Xe)La)TeX!
    • PowerPoint? Beamer!
    • Excel? Well, fuck this; any proper programming language does the job waaaaay better;
    • Whatever their crappy attempt at db-s was called? Literally any non-crappy dbms.

    LaTeX is shit at this point. Check out https://github.com/typst/typst. I cannot go back to the awful syntax in a powerful LuaLaTeX.

    Hm, looks somewhat less painful to type. Otherwise, needs further investigation; tnx!

    It's in the beta, but actively being developed. You can do a lot of stuff already, but a lot of stuff is either not implemented or janky. Overall I can cope with that. If you want to add something, just know how to write in Rust.

    Excel, not true. I mean libreoffice calc just works for a lot but not for easy basic graphs. And it does not do the job better at graphically ebabling users to do data analysis

    Running libreoffice for windows on wine

    [–] Engywuck@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

    Honest question: does Crossover actually increases compatibility over raw Wine or PlayOnLinux?

    Imagine paying 80 bucks to run office.

    What's wrong with just using Libre Office?

    [–] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

    Never seems to get Office documents dodgy formatting right. OnlyOffice seems to do a much better job of replicating MS Office.

    Why do you need Ms office at all these days when you have libreoffice

    [–] desconectado@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

    Because all your colleagues and collaborators use it because it comes free with the company...
