Microsoft Office infuriates me and I hate Windows 10, I hate it so much. Apple is even worse than Microsoft. Vote Anarchy and go Linux. I've never looked back since installing that.

So I'm trying out some free alternatives. Apache Open Office. - although it looks in layout more like office 2007. (no ribbon thing at the top) also if you do use and and send a lot of files to other people, set your default to save as Microsoft format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BlackBear Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'm still on W7. I plan to maybe one day experiment with Linux. I just don't like the way Apple do they're thing, if something breaks that's it, you don;t repair it, you just get a new thing. Also the cultish fervor they build in some people puts me off. It's just a phone dude, you don;t need to queue overnight for it. Apache is what I'm on now, quite liking it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'm really not good with technology so you'll have to forgive me for not knowing what a Linux is. It sounds painful and intrusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good for the complexion, terrible for ageing the mind. I do hope it's fresh blood of a virgin? My doctor tells me it's great for your hair. 23 hours ago, Buckwheat said: 6 hours by train. Less with a car, obviously, but that means you have to be able to afford a car and trust your own driving such distances, which I don't. Going back to see the family every one and a half to two months for a few days is just about right at the moment. Ouch, that's a lot. Even my most distant relatives live closer to me than that. I hope you figure something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds painful and intrusive. Its an operating system for your computer. Like Windows, but different. Its also open source ( so anyone can copy / add / modify the code and make a new version) and its totally free. but yes its not that good for games. but if you basically just use your computer for office like programs and the internet, then it works really well. My experience so far, its far more stable than windows ever was. and uses less resources (computer runs faster). oh and Hubby has not yet worked out how to screw it up. So it does every I need better than Windows did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a flatterer As if there was any chance I'd have tried to do it myself IT challenges my capabilities well 99% of stuff on it is not that hard. but I would say that I work in IT. Often its a case of googling Printer model number + Linux (type) then following the instructions word for word. (which is normally - copy this file to your PC save in this location. Open terminal (an application - this is where you change bits of your computer set up) type the following text CXXXXXXXXXXX press enter. close terminal - all done. It sounds far harder than it is. and if you where living closer to me, I'd be more than happy to come round and do it for you if you would provide a mug or cup of tea while I'm there.

Such a flatterer Lawyer-check, owner of hop hop-check, I can practically picture a small you being kicked out of youngling school in the first lightsaber training lesson when you turned yours on and it was red. On another note, where is the sun?, it must hurry up and come out so I can take my bike out for the first time this year, providing it starts anyway, if not I will have to lower myself to calling one of my friends and fluttering eyelids.
