- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
- Comments written in other languages are allowed.
- The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
- Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Excel tables.
No Linux/OSS app can do this (and will likely never). Open Office devs have outright declared they won't.
Or the automated process that export/import data via excel.
Let's see you rebuild all those things, without man hours or errors. Costly errors.
Whenever someone gets on a "just switch" campaign (whether it's something like Linux or Metric), I know they've never had to work on a migration project and seen the challenges, difficulties, and risk.
I use Linux for servers, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna spend time converting my workstation - there's zero value in it for me when I have decades of tools and process. The value proposition just isn't there.
Don't go taking down a fence until you fully understand what it's for.
Can the web version of Excel do tables? I know that it's a lesser version of the desktop app, but if tables was the most advanced feature you need, that could be an option.
OnlyOffice is supposed to be better than OpenOffice for Microsoft documents
Not to mention that LibreOffice has all but replaced OpenOffice as the latter is virtually unmaintained.
Can confirm
Fair enough. Excel is pretty complicated.
