Cool It finally gets Google docs core functionality after only 20 years. How innovative.

I'll just use LibreOffice, but... a lot of people just don't care. Which does also impact us.

Switched to linux. No regrets so far.

Of the installs I've done in the past year, none were absolutely flawless. One had an error that I just hit "retry" and it worked. One required some serious googling but I found the fix on reddit (rip). One didn't work at all, and I switched to a different distro that did work.

I'm not going to lie and sugarcoat it, but once I got past the install everything has been fine. Hopefully things will continue to improve
