"I can't switch, there's this one function of this one programme that I may need in the next 50 years."

There's a Linux app for that but the buttons are in different places

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.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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 sudo in 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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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 figuresWe 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.

    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.
