So yes, they will consider it as settling and will whine everytime they are forced by the idiots in corporate to have to settle for Red Hat.
Linux wasn’t even released until 1991, so that would be kind of hard.
Sad thing is, Microsoft had their own UNIX, called XENIX, but sold it to SCO group.
I’ve been totally off Windows for 7 years. What a freaking relief. There’s no software capability I lack.
I run Apache Webserver, MariaDB (MYsql), LibreOffice, Blender, FreeCad, Netbeans, Firefox/Brave/Chrome, Gimp, VLCMedia, Audacity, Musescore, Kicad, Pycharm, eclipse, Filezilla, giimagereader,
etc etc
“Adding insult to injury, Microsoft’s data formats can hold programming macros. That’s why Microsoft Office formats are commonly used to transmit malware.”
Yes, this is a security hole. But, it’s also one reasons that businesses LIKE using Microsoft products. If the software doesn’t do what I want, I can write a VB macro and MAKE it do what I want, and I don’t have to pay some additional software license or hire a developer to do it for me.
>Its roots are in Windows NT/Wondows 2000 which was written from the ground up.
by engineers lured to Microsoft from Digital Equipment Corporation (RIP).
And RIP to the Alpha chip.
No great replacement for FileMaker Pro, and LibreOffice Writer is no substitute for WordPerfect. Too bad Microsoft bought off Corel when Corel was making Linux desktop products 109 years ahead of time.
If I could not customize Windows 11 (which much improves it) the way you easily can for free, then I might try again to conform a Linus distro to my liking, but since I can still do the former, why should I take the time to try to do so? But thank God for what one can do with both, for God and good, and for options.
OOPS! My mistake.
WordPerfect is still the best word-processing software I’ve ever used.
The year of the Linux desktop, again?
MX has a pretty nice snapshot to USB function. I like it, anyway.
Just you wait for Windows 12!!
Well there are encryption programs for your most sensitive data and with over a billion Windows 10 users worldwide one user is a needle in a haystack. Linux is for salmon who like to swim upstream...
Just plug in the external drive and Linux will see all the files to be manipulated as you like. It will even open msoffice files with the libreoffice app. It will handle all your MS files just like normal on MS.
Just like you do with MS. Here is something cool. If you install Linux “along side” MS as dual boot on the same drive, you can boot in Linux then just go open your existing MS volumes and drag and drop files from it to the Linux folders.
All normal files are compatible between Linux and MS. Just plug and play.
The cat’s meow of linux distros seems to be Ubuntu-Mate.
Wife’s can be expensive to replace... more so if you have Girl Friend 2.0 installed....😂
