I’ve recently switched to Linux (Debian Bookworm) because I was tired of all the bullshits I had to deal with when using Windows, especially when developing software.
Now I really have to use MS Office applications for my school. Libreoffice is good but not completely compatible with MSOffice, like I can’t use the log graph in the template provided. And their web apps are nearly unusable (especially with Firefox and its variants) , so I need desktop versions.
I can use VM maybe but I don’t want to pay for the Windows license.
How do you guys manage to open MS files appropriately?
“open core” is pretty much “proprietary, but we won’t call it like that, we will also sue you if you use our code”
