Well, true, that was probably poorly worded.

They’re still doing something bad: changing the status quo. They’re turning our system into something different because new users want it to be like another system. Maybe they ought to use that other system instead? Or mac os which is kind of a hybrid concept.

Are we going to have to endure the mess of directories they get to enjoy in windows as well so users don’t feel lost? What other convenience should we forfeit and hide at the bottom of a menu because it frigtens the noobs?

Linux isn’t windows, it’s different, things are different, learn something different, or use something else.

It’s just bad. It’s not intuitive, it doesn’t have any of the convenience features that MS word has.

Maybe, maybe not.

The last version ow MS Word I used was Word 2.0c. I quit using it because it was completely broken whenever the file got a bit large. I switched to Linux at that time and used office suites on that platform (that was before libre/open office, even before StarOffice I think, I ran Applix at the time), none of them I’ve ever had issues with.

Something is broken on your system. Libre office works fine on all other machines.

It’s the thing that goes fwup!

Back when I used it for a couple years, maybe twenty years ago, it always felt a little broken in many ways. That was long before the whole snap mess. Anyway I never really thought of it as a quality product.

Personally I didn’t even consider switching until I finally quit Destiny 2 for good. If the main game someone plays just doesn’t work, they’re not gonna switch.

I’ve been running Linux as my main system for about 30 yers. During that time I’ve had a Windows partition or disk, on and off purely to run steam. Having to wait an extra thirty seconds to run a game was never an issue. And I could still do my stuff in a comfortable environment (once you’ve gotten used to a Unix desktop, you’ll suffer so much in Windows).

Microsoft access

I wasn’t aware that thing still existed.

Some might think they do. But then very few programs respect the Windows standards, so…

The same reason everybody gives when dealing with pretty much anything: “I don’t want to learn something new”.

I’ve been running linux for decades and I only heard of it those past few months. But then I never used YouTube or social stuff much, maybe they communicate there.

You have to go through Pearsons 101?

That’s fine, I don’t know what Pearson’s course is and I’m not really interested. So, ah, “Remind me later”, I guess…

It surprises me that there are users like that that haven’t yet gone through some kind of major data loss event. Or maybe they’ve only used a computer for a couple years…

Edit: not those with archives, those with a single disc of course.

Mine was a 486DX50. I used that beast for quite some time. It ran great.

I don’t really “hate” windows, but I dislike it.

However I can’t really move away from it.

I did so back in win 3.11 days, a while ago.

It’s like: “I’d like 5 snow to go, please”
“How much? Ill have you know that in my days, snow just fell from the sky, for free!”
“Stop laughing, it’s true! People even hated it.”

Ok, I booted the usb, but I think it went under the kitchen cabinet so now I’m stuck.

Right. These days, in most of Europe you have to order your snow online and hope it doesn’t melt in transit.
