    well kinda feel sorry for ya that your job requires excel or any of that office trash. Obviously doesnt work out for you then.

    I run mint for some years on desktop and about a year on laptop now. I dont have any issues on either and it just feels good booting into them. I never once had the urge or need to go back to windows. And i think this is true for many people.

    And the terminal is just sth thats at its core. If you dont want to learn it then a system like that isnt for you. In all reality, if one learns its, it is much easier than using three different windows setting interfaces with bloat popping up everywhere. Installing software in linux easy. In windows navigate through twenty ads or visit a poor store.

    Or windows having a mix of consoles/powershells and more shit nowadays with different command namings. In Linux. Its just sinple terminal. Not to mention command prompt and its siblings taking four+ seconds to open on a new decent windows pc. Wtf?

    imo windows bloat makes it unusable. The skill required to learn terminal basics is far smaller than learning all that windows shit.

      Office is shit in many ways, but unfortunately there’s nothing that truly competes with it. Not even LibreOffice comes close.

      You mean like hundreds of millions of other jobs the world over?

      Microsoft wouldn’t spend money on continuing to develop Office enterprise editions if it didn’t make them a whole lot more than they spend.
