Tbh the only reason I can't put an ubuntu for my parents/grandparents is Microsoft office.
Libre is generally ok, but they deal with lots of documents from different ppl/orgs that just need to have similar rendering. Windows is so bloated it's insane
- meekins 2mo agoThe rendering won't be 1:1 but installing the most common MS fonts already does a lot
- repelsteeltje 2mo agoThat's the same issue I hear Apple users complain about: how it's such a drag to copy paste screenshots from keynote into powerpoint, every time they can't present from their own laptop.
- Moldoteck 2mo agoThe thing is, it needs to be 1:1. This will be fixed only by a govt push to do full replacement for all doc sharing at all levels, especially schools. But since in this country office is mostly pirated anyway, it's not such a big push
- tonyedgecombe 2mo ago>The thing is, it needs to be 1:1. I'm not sure about that outside of Excel and even then only for a small proportion of users.
- Moldoteck 2mo agoTry saying that to the govt when they send some documents to your university that must be filled by several ppl and suddenly content isn't alligned anymore as it originally was.
- wongarsu 2mo agoEven Microsoft can't perfectly replicate MS Office rendering. Despite access to the source code. Lots of stuff renders slightly broken in the web version, especially once headers and footers are involved As an individual that makes MS Office hard to replace in the workplace. But maybe entire agencies switching over will have enough weight that they can force everyone else to adapt to them
- Derbasti 2mo agoOffice in the browser works really well, in my experience.
- Moldoteck 2mo agoFunctionality is much more limited, more lags and necessity to always have internet connection
