Below article shows peoples opinion regarding ms. I am sure you are aware that the next version will not be allowed to be installed on not so old hardware... www.ravereviews.org/brands/the-most-hated-brands-in-every-country/I hear many friends being angry. Then i tell them about bodhi linux. Something seems to stop them though from making the move to linux. So i still wait for the year of the linux. |

It is interesting how reluctant people are to making the change. Between chip shortages, video card shortages, costs, etc. I'm surprised people are not doing more to preserve "old" systems...and I say old jokingly...an old PC to me is not a four year old laptop that MS decided is outmoded. Regardless, thanks for your post, ligoxi . |

I keep trying to convince my wife she doesn't need Windows. She claims, and who knows if she's right, that the complex formatting her team uses doesn't survive export/import so she has to work from MSOffice - and not the online version. I might be wearing her down.

I keep trying to convince my wife she doesn't need Windows. She claims, and who knows if she's right, that the complex formatting her team uses doesn't survive export/import so she has to work from MSOffice - and not the online version. I might be wearing her down. I ran Bodhi and tried to use the online version of MS Office for grad school - your wife is correct; it is terrible. Like, unusable. Thinking of attempting any kind chart/graph/figure is genuinely a joke. This unfortunately forced me to convert my laptop to a windows machine for a while to run the full Office suite (thank goodness school provided Windows and Office licenses, so at least I didn't have to pay for them...).
Converting/exporting spreadsheets with complex figures and graphs out of the Linux office suites generally ends poorly as well. I really wish Linux had a better office suite. I have yet to find one that works well, granted it has been a while.
Keep working at it  |
