  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

    This always falls on its face for work. No one does collaboration as easy as Microsoft and that’s not changing anytime soon. I mean, everyone would have to move all at once. I can move to Linux on my personal devices and it’s not going to change stats one bit.

    Not sure what you mean by "collaboration". If your are talking about working on documents, spreadsheets, calendar, slides, with your coworkers, sharing, manage access, etc. Google does that pretty well. My company uses everything Google for many years and it's very good from this perspective. It works absolutely the same from any operating system, Google Chrome is the OS at this point. I am not saying that Google is better than Microsoft as a corporation, just saying that Microsoft has legitimate competitors on the office collaboration market.

    Anything in M365 works reasonably well in Linux, even when accessed via Firefox. I do it all the time.

    And you can just install Edge if you really want to. It's on flathub

    [–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago

    Yeah I know. I've done that as well. I just wanted to point out that it can be done in FF.

    Try Apple.

    Collaboration as in what? Programmers use version control or use an IDE with collaborative coding tools like Jetbrains. That stuff is OS agnostic. If you mean office work Google and Infomaniak provide similar tools as Office365.

    Most offices really don’t need Microsoft. They just are stuck in their habits. And MS has a better sales team.

    And the one big customer who has standardized on xlsx, docx etc and use one of the two features that make the file look awful on anything not ms.

    [–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

    That’s my point.
