  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time. (lemmy.world)

    I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

    Still can't run MS Office well /s

    The fact that there's a competitive Excel scene makes this comment infinitely funnier to me.

    Yeah, it's crazy and pretty interesting.

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

    Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    Wait why only the href changed and not the text?

    [–] TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 3 points 2 years ago

    Crazy. Never heard of it till now.

    [–] okamiueru@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I hope it never will. Genuinely.

    [–] TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    But there is no good drop in replacement.

    I had faced all sorts of issues with compatibility of files while using LibreOffice. And LibreOffice looks ugly. OnlyOffice doesn't support doc/xls/ppt files afaik.

    [–] okamiueru@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    LibreOffice Writer follows Open Document Format, unlike MS Office Word. This is intentional by MS, because they have significant market share. So, any broken files is "because of LibreOffice", even though the inverse is true.

    So, I consider Office Word to be a dangerous and harmful product, and I'm glad that it isn't available on Linux/Wine. It just isn't good, and LibreOffice works for 99.9% of what people use that kind of software for.

    [–] TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    But sadly 99% of people use this broken version of software.

    [–] okamiueru@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    True. Governments and respective institutions should however not. Some countries understand this. Other have had their ISO standard committees bought out by MS in more than shady circumstances. I remember when this was discussed in Norway. Everyone in the panel concluded to use ODF. They were ignored. They all resigned.

    [–] TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 1 points 2 years ago

    Yeah. Classic corporate bulldozing everything!

    [–] stonemilker@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

    For real, though, I really wish I could easily run Office with Bottles or something like that. Never managed to make it work

    [–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I never thought we'd see MS Office on Linux, and then they released Outlook for Android.

    [–] TheMadnessKing@lemdro.id 2 points 2 years ago

    They have their Entire suite on Android. They just hate Linux
