From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Choosing not to use good software from the same company just because another software they offer is subpar would be an unreasonable decision.

Kind of the conclusion I'd come to.

Would you use excel if it were on Linux? It's one of the other few Microsoft products I think is actually pretty good.

Obviously not foss but still

I prefer google docs because it’s accessible through a browser wherever I want.
