How's the LibreOffice / MsOffice compatibility in practice?
Was thinking about this yesterday, and was curious how much functional coverage or issues there are with what people actually use it for.
- Beltiras 7y agoWe mostly use Office. Out of the ~120 workstations we only have ~10 Linux users. 6 of those are sysadmins/developers. Only 2 statisticians have Linux and they mostly use softwares besides productivity suits. We at least have no complaints yet to speak of. We should do a survey.
- psalminen 7y agoNot the OP, but I tried to do a lot of work in Libreoffice Calc on XLSX files. I had a constant issue of Libreoffice not being able to handle >10000 rows, and actually crashing when trying to do something intense like vlookup.
- a3n 7y agoI worked QA at a place that had huge CSV log files for a device. Sometimes the log files were slow to open in Excel, or just would not open at all. I started using Jupyter and Pandas for my own work, just so I could get something done. I really liked it. But the organization was moving even more in the MS direction, I'm sure any thought of Pandas died after I left. Try something like that if you can.
