Looking at your last couple of posts - you realize this is the “linuxmemes” community not the “troll linux users with kind of offensive, uninformed nonsense” community, right?
As a Linux user, we should learn to take a joke and laugh at ourselves every once in a while. I can think of many more things actually deserving of the term “offensive”.
The problem is there isn’t a good joke here. 🤷♂️
What is the point? LibreOffice exists, and if you don’t care about AI scraping, might as well use Google docs.
Dumb indeed, to give Microsoft Office the shadow of a thought when Libre Office is perfectly good.
Exactly, this meme need not have happened.
Libre Office (at least Calc which is the one I use most) is usable but it has bizarre random slowdowns and crashes relatively frequently, whereas I have never once had issues like that with Microsoft Office. I still use Libre Office (on both Windows and Linux) because it’s free but I acknowledge that it has disadvantages.
All of that happens the exact opposite way when you compare Writer with Word.
And Presenter compared to Power Point has the clear answer that you shouldn’t use either.
Either way, Excel is the one good piece of software in MS Office. Has always been, and I don’t expect it to change in the future. (Except maybe if they decide to make Excel bad.) But that’s only as long as it always corrupting anything mildly complex doesn’t bother you.
Excel is the one good piece of software in MS Office.
Last time I used MS Office was 10 months ago, and it had a bunch of annoying “features” related to sharing, etc. But PowerPoint has always had some great authoring tools. Sometimes if I was writing an article in LaTeX, I’d still do the figures in PowerPoint.
LibreOffice is a solid substitute, though.
MS is not going to jack with Excel. It’s the one reason they sell so much Office, and arguably the only reason the product still exists.
Meh, I just use Google Docs. Libre office is also usable in a pinch, but it’s a little… clunky.
I have yet to hear someone wanting proprietary software and complain like this.
Lol, I wouldn’t even use MS Office on Windows, Libre Office all the way.
Since when is MS Office Open Source?
It most certainly is not
I believe, this entire post is fiction…
Closed source office with telemetry for Linux would be doing more for Linux adoption than anything valve has made in the last 5 years. It’s why Microsoft won’t do it.
You lost me at the first panel.
You’re not entirely wrong…
Someone wanted Microsoft office for Linux? If you’re going the spyware proprietary office route why not just googles office suite that’s able to be used by pretty much any internet connected device?
