Libre/OpenOffice or Google webapps.

Hahahah.No.
Yes, infact you do use windows and office, but not windows 10, because the last thing you need is several downtimes due forced upgrades.
What you actually want is a shitload of cheap windows XP machines, so you can keep compatibility with old gear including weird printers.

If you have downtimes due to Windows 10 forced updates then that just means you are tech illiterate retard. Turns out, delaying updates by weeks or months is not a good idea. If you look how many tech illiterates, even on technology boards, claim that security updates are not necessary or even harmful it's actually hard to blame microshit for forcing this crap on users. Tech illiterates are responsible for this and microsoft knows well that majority of their user base are tech illiterate morons. And more tech literate users suffer for this.
Enterprise is another story, I would never want to have windows 10 on company computers, too many things to go wrong when you can just have 7 that will werk.

>>62299613
I would rather use 2013 or 2010

>>62299613
I'm a software developer. We don't use excel at all at my company.

>>62299729
Security updates are needed, yes.
But sometimes they're just fucked up, huge and bring things that are just not needed, which is why the optimal way is to install manually the packs, which is a terrible hassle on windows 10.
And on an office space, this generally is done off hours, not during the working hours.

>>62299684
>Librecalc does everything Excel does natively for my underage college child needs that have nothing in common with real world needs.

>>62299613
Yep, Linux is useless for anyone who is not a Linux dev.
Free software is a joke but still, thanks to Stallman and GNU for a good Unix ripoff, it had a very promising start.

>>62299754
I really doubt that. Unless you work for company that is composed 100% of programmers, which I really don't think is the case.

>>62299784
Real world needs like what exactly?

>>62299784
Use R.

>>62299828
Like being able to submit your work without having to worry about it not working on others people machines that will run excel, not open sores memeoffice.

>>62299833
Good joke, no one ever uses R for anything. All real world data science is done in Python.

>>62299613
Which is why I have a Windows VM for that (plus Skype, VS and other stuff). Don't need to install the whole OS for a couple of programs.

windows is best Linux is shit

>Download Office for Education for free with my university email.

Utter garbage, I'd rather use LibreOffice

>shittier macros and other vb integrations
So what it does over google sheets then?
Why do desktop applications suck so much they're worse than web one?

>>62300054
Google sheets is botnet and done from a web browser.

>>62299623
These don't work well. Somebody emailed me a .doc word file with some tables in it. I opened it in libreoffice and the table formatting was all fucked up. I opened it in gdocs, same thing. So I dug my old windows laptop out of the closet and booted it up. 30 minutes later, it finally finished installing updates. I opened ms word and made my changes.

I like windows about as much as hillary clinton but you have to admit that linux has serious issues with wysiwyg doc editing.

>Arguing that the productivity of libre/OpenOffice is shit because it isn't natively supported on Microshit office.
Because that is the case, you retarded child. You can take those 10 cents, you probably need them more than I do.
You just fail to understand that sending out file that doesn't work has bigger consequences for some people than for you. Common misconception among sheltered college children.

>>62299613
I use linux too. Thanks for advertisement. :^)

I know most of you guys are sick and tired of Pajeets trying and failing to justify the use of windoze in $CURRENT_YEAR, but I still find it amusing as hell. :^)

This guy https://www.peppercarrot.com/ makes over 3k/month using only free as in freedumbs open sores software.

What is your excuse?

>>62303345
I know that this is bait but still:
GNOO/Linox is a system which is not compatible with most of professional/specialized software. Same goes for MacOS (it's a lot better in this aspect, though).
I can live without gayming and comfy things that w10 does but I can't live without the tools that help make a living.

>>62299613
Hmm odd thing is that Linux got me a job at help desk > technician > Jr. sys Admin and now a senior sys admin going for RHCSA without even finishing uni. Shit, truth be told I was NEET for few months before applying for a job at help desk as support agent.

I hope you can do the same or similar with Windows and Excel spread sheets. Not trolling, really wish you all the best anon.

>>62303612
How is it related to linux? How can your shitty software ported without the code? There you go. Idiot.

>>62303612
If I need windows I can whip up a VM on my mac, to ez

I've been using libre office for 5 years now and it good for what I use it for, which is writing my dissertation. I use linux anyway so..

Good luck with GPU heavy tasks. There is some fuckery with GPU passthrough + QEMU, though.

Can I still get/buy Office 2010 legally?
And would it (((upgrade))) itself to Office 2072 if I get it?

>>62303526
I make $2k/month from welfare and I use whatever software I want instead of "freeing myself" by restricting myself to only using software with certain autist-approved licenses.

>>62303526
>when your web comic is so bad that it can stay afloat only by advertising iself with some gimmick like free as in freedom license.

Isn't Microsoft Office capable to read and edit Open Document formats or does it fuck up? If not, why not simply use Open Document for everything?

>>62303612
My company uses office365 or whatever. A colleague sends you an excel sheet and you edit and send it back all from the comfort of Chrome on your MacOS or Ubuntu dev machine. I think libreoffice came with Ubuntu but I haven't touched it and don't really plan to.

>>62304281
Yep, web applications are the future. A bad one, though, because there is no bigger botnet than the browser itself.

If there are no other issues, why wouldn't everyone just switch to libreoffice, wouldn't that solve the problem?

Well yes, I could buy a T60 for 100€, Libreboot it and then only use software and websites that respect privacy. As a matter of fact, I'll probably do just that so I have a completely free machine ready to use. But don't act as if the war isn't over. We can still free ourselves and educate the very few who are interested in privacy and free software but that is such a small fraction of those who are tech literate (which is a small fraction of people to begin with) that it almost doesn't make any difference, neither for us nor for whoever wants our data.

Just let this meme fucking die lol. It's not a bad product, it's just that the vast, vast majority of people are better off just getting LibreOffice because it does just about everything MS Office does, just as good, but without a pay-wall.

Now I know that MS Office has more features, but most people don't even use those features. They just want a word processor/spreadsheet/powerpoint combo, and LibreOffice does all of those perfectly without having to pay or pirate.
