    Or grow some self-respect and stop using shit from companies that insist on having an adversarial relationship with you.

        Some people think they can’t use an alternative OS, but they’re wrong.

          Some people need to use certain programs for work that just don’t exist on Linux, some people play games with anti cheat that will require developer support in order to work on Linux (which might never happen). Hell, Libre Office is nice and all but if you’re dealing with someone who uses Microsoft Office and it’s a professional setting you don’t have a choice, you need to use Microsoft Office because although you can save files in the right format, when they reach their destination the formatting will probably be completely fucked.

          I’m so tired of Linux users acting like they know better than others what their needs are.

            I understand where you’re coming from, but there are some flaws with your reasoning:

            • About Kernel anti-cheats: if you wish, you can dual-boot Windows and any GNU+Linux distro, without any issues.
            • The LibreOffice thing: there is OnlyOffice, and even M$ Office has Open Document format compatibility.

              Dual boot: and we still come back to my tip being useful

              Office: I look at my job and most of our tools are Excel based programs, you can’t use Libre Office or other alternatives to open an Excel sheet full of macros and thousands of lines of code and expect it to work

            None of those are good enough excuses to jettison your self-respect and allow yourself to be milked like cattle.

              Oh so I should quit my job because I need to use Excel because our tools are Excel based programs, that’s what you’re saying?
