![]() ![]() I’m not sure if I’m in your target spreadsheet demographic or not, but I only use a fraction of the features available. People use google docs because it does what they need. I don’t know what features specifically you are talking about, but I imagine if we polled a large swath of the user base, the majority of spreadsheet users just use the basics. They appear to be good enough on the surface, but the moment a pro user starts trying to use them, they quickly find out all the features they need aren’t there. The moment you actually do that last one you find out LibreOffice Calc and Google Sheets are nowhere near feature competitive, and are basically the Potemkin villages of software. While I don’t pretend to be representative of other users, I find this to be a common complaint among those who are windows & msoffice users. I got tired of microsoft forcing change at me and that motivated me to try out alternatives. I tried to continue using older versions for a while but that became less and less viable. This was before the ribbon though, which I hated and still do. While there are trolls who just won’t stop shoving absolutist dogma about operating systems down everyone’s throat, it’s not always the linux side who are guilty of it.Īssume the user is wrong, list pointless anecdotes instead real data, and most importantly don’t ask people that actually work with spreadsheets (or other software) for a living what’s wrong.įor me personally the older versions of excel were my favorite software from microsoft by far. Honestly it doesn’t bother me that people have different software opinions, how silly would that be. So what though? I for one don’t subscribe to elitism and condescension, quite the opposite in fact. ![]() Well no, that’s not really objective, most of us here do understand that there are people who don’t like linux and perhaps they never will. Obviously I don’t expect you to care about my preferences, but by the exact same token you shouldn’t expect any of us to care about yours either.ītw, this is all typical condescending Linux user behavior (from all of you). My reality is such that I might spend a week or two on windows and I honestly don’t miss it one bit. I am impressive just how far linux has come and the anti-linux bashing seems to be mostly driven by defending one’s turf these days than anything I actually care about. I’ve learned that it’s best not to be tied to one OS. For the most part I’ve been using multiplatform productivity software and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Take a look at gaming, this used to be one of the biggest barriers for linux users, It’s not perfect and it would be nice if more titles were natively supported, but there are tons of windows games are working fine today thanks to proton. I can and do appreciate linux even if you don’t. Your complaints are meaningful to you but not necessarily others. That’s fine, it’s just like with any other squabbles between platforms users like mac vs windows, playstation vs xbox, android vs ios, everybody’s got an opinion. We get it, you are a devoted linux hater. ![]() It had all the time in the world, but the community declared it good enough while it’s still mostly a joke among IT crowds. At this point I blame Linux for still being a terrible desktop alternative. Linux fanboys have been saying that since XP, and the situation hasn’t changed. Maybe we could say users were better off by the time windows 7 came around, but users of vista definitely suffered as a result of microsoft decision to break driver compatibility. For better or worse microsoft decided to stop supporting the working & robust drivers from windows xp. A huge portion of working & reliable drivers, including mine, were broken by microsoft in vista. My own kernel drivers broke under vista too. To be clear, I have no idea if nvidia or MS were more at fault for vista crashes in the specific instances you are referring to, but the article you linked to doesn’t really prove nvidia responsibility even if the stats are factually true. But the mere fact that 3rd party code was affected and crashed does NOT imply the 3rd party code is responsible for the bug! Some of the most challenging bugs are those that defy expectations since the root of the bug isn’t in the obvious place where you are looking. Just as an example, an operating system fault clearly might impact 3rd party code, causing that 3rd party code to crash. We have to be very careful with that conclusion though because even if the article’s stats at face value are true, it doesn’t technically imply that nvidia are to blame for the faults. Go back to Vista for the most high profile example. There is certainly precedent for Microsoft being blamed for stanility issues caused by 3rd party drivers. ![]()
