Today I had to dual boot on windows and literally every operation & interaction felt five times as slow as on Linux on the same hardware. I had a ton of bugs on software that works just fine on Linux. Explorer crashed at some point and I had to add a fucking registry key to enable long paths.
I'm 30 and I never had to use MS Office once in my life, LibreOffice works fine with everything I had to do with it

- jcelerier 4y agoOffice 365 doesn't cut it ?
- xupybd 4y agoUnfortunately no. There are a few features missing and I don't want to think how hard interop would be. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/vsto/office-primary-interop- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/vsto/office-p... assemblies?view=vs-2022 Much of what I work on involves programs that interop with Excel. Yes there are other ways of writing and reading spreadsheets but sadly none are as reliable as using Excel interop. At least if your spreadsheet has to be compatible with Excel. It is possible someone has build an amazing library that does this but I'm not aware of it. Edit: I could have Windows on a VM but that is awkward and slow. I find I get more done without that added bit of complexity.
