Just a reminder: a lot of people have literally 0 alternative to MS Office. this is the single largest thing keeping me from going back to daily drive linux.


I haven’t touched MS Office in about 10 years. Libreoffice and Apple’s equivalents have been perfectly fine for me.

Some specialized cases require office, but for the typical document or spreadsheet it’s very easy to avoid it.


Unless libreoffice can load excel add ins, nope.

OpenBSD Fan:

Plan9:

I hate that dirty bloated unix stuff!

OpenVMS:

Sorry my uptime is 20 years cant reboot and install an OS.

It just reminds me of that Stallmann-urge to tell everyone what "real" freedom is (his meaning of freedom only (good)freedom)


FS supporter (me): Don't you touch Stallman! )


averter's gonna avert


I feel averted.


I can’t use Debian for my Windows use case.
