Simple solution: pay for MS office instead.
> And when you point this out, you're usually told that you should instead stop doing your work and fix the broken tools yourself.
show us an example of you being told to do this.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 6y agoUnfortunately, I'm running Linux for a long list of reasons, which limits my options (yes, Wine is an option, but I've tried that with Notepad++ and the result is a UX that's almost as bad as using LibreOffice/GIMP straight away. Otherwise I'd have certainly gotten both MS Office and some older version of Photoshop.
- throwaway_pdp09 6y agoUse virtualbox.
- ikerdanzel 6y agoYeah. I paid subscription for that even though using linux...vm Windows. The fixed yourself is a common reply when complaining about the free tools.....though to be precise, usually it is polite and phrased as "...contribute to the project...". This is so common, it is very well understood among general public that is tech savvy but not at programmers level, no example need to be shown. A mere quick mention/reference is more than enough.
- throwaway_pdp09 6y ago> and phrased as "...contribute to the project...". Reasonable enough. You could pay them. I did. > no example need to be shown Nope, show me on LibreOffice's bug reports where they say that. You want stuff for free, but so many won't contribute, won't pay, expect first class service without giving anything in return.
