He gets out of Windows! 😀👍

I use Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarch
“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
“They told me to type words into a black screen with green letters, and the mere suggestion burned down my house and killed my family.”
Yes, do as I say!
That man’s home address?
/dev/lp0Ah yeah that’s a bug. Should be a fix in a few days
No, it’s a feature.
Still needs a toggle. What is this? North Korea?
Ahem… I believe you mean BEST KOREA.
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.
Fair enough. Excel is pretty complicated.
I:
A) Try Wine. No? Ok…
B) Hello windows using friend or relative, can I borrow your PC for 30 min? No? Ok…
C) Hey work IT man, so, I know this is dumb but I need to run a program called pkhex. Yeah it’s a hex editor specifically for pokemon hex files. Yeah I can get you anything on your cart. I can get you a legit Mew, even change your OT name from whatever you thought was cool in 1998. Ok so I need admin to download that real fast because I run Fedora, you bring your cart tomorrow and we can do this on lunch.
Typically option B is enough lol.
You jest but the pain is real. Developing a Windows only software for work in a Windows only environment.
Wine?
Now we need a windows compatibility program called “com-plain”
Simplified communication, components, compatibility, whatever makes the backronym work
alias complain=protonComponent Object Model?
It helps but it’s too expensive to distribute to everyone.
Where’s Jesus when you need him?
I’ll whine until there is a solution for anticheat
As long as you’re whining to the game publishers, not Linux people who are not only technically unable but also legally prohibited from doing anything about it.
It’s important to place the blame where it belongs.
Whine with your dollars, the companies that make the decision don’t give a fuck about shit else.
There’s a “defenestrate” joke here somewhere.
Yup, fella left Windows through the pain of installing Arch
More like Parabola, judging by the trajectory!
theres a plasma window decoration called klassy that has a bunch of presets. all the windows-like presets are called defenestrated (followed by the number of whatever version of windows it is like).
Complain, then switch to Linux and use WINE to run that piece of software that you just can’t do without or replace.
Learning Linux feels a bit like that.

hineWhy not all 3? I love complaining.
