    Can you imagine installing Windows and having to install 10 seperate programs just to fix all the issues with it?

      Every day with Windows is like this. It’s a fucking nightmare. I don’t know what else to do.

          I tried installing Linux on the new work laptop yesterday.

          The keyboard wasn’t recognised. The fucking keyboard.

          Apparently it’s fixed in kernel 6.6 but nothing has that yet coz they’re all using the earlier LTS

          Right, right. Smh

          Onenote, publisher, CAD. Excel (and don’t give me open/libre can do it, no they can’t. They are marginally compatible).

          And a laundry list more of the issues trying to replace windows with Linux on the desktop.

          If you work by yourself and don’t share docs, yea, could probably work. I need to trust that what I send is what people see.

          Try to open an excel workbook with tables on open/libre and see what happens.

            Specialist software in general is patchy at best. There are often FOSS alternatives… But in the same way they aren’t compatible with what other people are using.

          I have a few games that don’t run on Steam. How big of a pain is it to get them running?

          This is like 50-70% of my PC usage.
