Enjoy it when you save something and the other person can't open it

Enjoy minor incompatibility bugs, and you won't even know where they are, so you won't even know if the other person is opening exactly the same document or not

>>60051456
Enjoy your slow shitty computer because you're having to run everything through Wine

Seriously, for both of you, it's like buying a car with a leaking fuel tank and saying "look, it still works! Sure I have to top up a bit more often, but it still works!"

Nigga, you are on 4chan, you know that, right ?

>>60051614
It's not slow. It's just a hacky broken workaround. It makes you feel like you're back on Windows again when things start to break for no reason. So in a way I guess it's the perfect Windows simulator.

>>60051589
what do you mean. you obviously use xfce with default (greybird) theme and borders, so i just hinted you that it will look more unified if you have LO with gtk3 support (if this is xfce 4.12). What the fuck.

Theres excel online you know
Besides libreoffice is good enough for most stuff

Linux users call their version "kernel panics" and they happen whenever they try to pull their PCs from sleep, or install new GPU drivers.

So I guess those are two things Linux can't do.

Have the same amount of videogames that Windows has because devs dont usually give a shit about the GAH-NOO/Loonix vidya market. Its a cancer that needs to stop.

>paying or pirating to be spyed on

Fucking Windows shill... You pay to not learn about computers. Your comfyness will destroy you.
You're part of the problem.

Stop making shit up.

>>60051533
Wine runs Excel up to 2013 just fine. And photoshop up to CS3 if I'm not mistaken. The thing is, you can do something way better: use a VM in coherence mode and stop acting like an autist.

Why you freetards always use this meme? I'm using Windows more than 15 years and I've encountered bsod only 3 or 4 times.

I unsuspend my computer every day and have never got a kernel panic, nor have a received one from graphics drivers.

>>60051740
>kernel panics
>sleep
>gpu drivers
I do believe you just made all of that up. I put my computer to sleep every night and wake it up in less than 5 seconds. I also install the new version of amdgpu driver when it's available. Right now I have an uptime of almost 3 months without having to restart (it usually doesn't go this long, typically my power will flicker briefly, forcing my computer to restart). But no kernel panics here. It sounds like you just googled that and assumed it's a common problem. Nope. Not nearly as common as BSOD on Windows. I've had one kernel panic, which occurred when I was installing gentoo and dicking around with the kernel, not understanding what i was doing. But nobody seriously uses gentoo anyways.

>>60051841
>why do freetards bring up a valid point
Here's a better question, why is it that when a program causes a problem, it's allowed to crash the entire operating system with it? Stop defending poor design.

Were you expecting Windows to auto-magically fix your problem for you? The network troubleshooting procedures are there to try and fix simple issues. It is not a fix-all solution. It's much more than you'd get on Linux anyways.

If you know what you're doing, why even bother with it? This is a non issue.

I haven't figured out a way to sort files into directories acording to the file name without using read to type it in manually.

"Delims="

Modern excel is unironically unusable. Not only does it crash all the fucking time, is slow as balls on an i7 + gpu surface pro, and has severe display issues (hiding content of cells that contain newlines past the first line), it can't even open two workbooks with the same name. Try it: you even get the most amateurish popup ever conceived, which states: "sorry, excel cannot open two workbooks with the same name at the same time".

Org-mode, funnily enough (and even though I refuse to use it given how crap the rest of emacs is), is the best by far. It is a superset of excel. So yes, linux can "do excel" anyway. Not to mention that outside your basement in bangladesh, people use google spreadsheets instead (and google spreadsheets are a heavily modified openoffice).
