If I had a dollar for everytime someone said Linux isn't bad now is be living on Mars.
What you're really saying is your needs are simple and you've managed to get what you need.
This does not translate to everyone as others might have more complex needs than you.
TrackIR is still a nightmare on Linux, and searching for help with that reveals about 10 situations where no one got a good result and one person who seemingly got lucky.
Another issue is MS Office. Formatting and macros get broken by FOSS alternatives so don't even go there.
There are at least a dozen more issues (NVIDIA, difficult hardware etc ...).
Suffice to say everytime someone pops up saying it works now just starts looking silly.
Until we get native support and better documentation and testing Linux is still an outlier for anything more than basic productivity or gaming in a bubble.
maybe I'm naive but I have a hard time believing msoffice macros are a major part of most business' workflows. any serious application is going to be working in a scripting language from a database. if you're still dependent on Ms office macros your business needed to retool a decade ago.
I can't speak to the other ”problems” you detailed, but if the msoffice complaint is any indication, I strongly recommend you find a new company and fast.
All it has to do is affect one person that needs that feature and it's a no go for that person.
It is rare for me but it is still an issue.
Formatting being broken is an even worse issue and happens far too often.
Lotta words to say you support windows and fear other oses
comments like these are why the linux userbase is both its best and worst feature.
I'm not sure who's more obnoxious, a vegan or a linux user.
It's not surprising that someone who clearly hates vegans would say the same shit about Linux. You're basically the type that's mad at people who think. How many times have you called someone a "college boy"? A non zero amount I'd imagine
I don't hate vegans, I hate the sense of superiority that majority (but not all) of them seem to have. Instead of trying to find common ground and talking about the issue, they alienate themselves from others. You're exhibiting exactly that behavior.
And for what it's worth, I don't think I've ever used the phrase "college boy".
i have a degree but i live in a college town so i'm going to start using it.
