no but ive never paid for a microsoft product either.
Ubuntu and Open Office. Free
Open Office
All the devs moved to Libre Office.. Old news. Surprised Open Office is still being used by the linux folks.
windows and office, also free. difference between office and open office is that ms office actually does what it says it does...
no.
you do not have to pay for ms office or windows. at all. if youre paying for either of those youre a fucking retard
Connecting your OS, Email, Word Processing, etc... to Microsoft who logs every keystroke. You think there is no personal cost? Please.
Unfortunately, I have no other choice as it's very convenient for me. If I dumped Microsoft products, then it might cost me a lot of time, and money. Besides, Microsoft products are not just Windows, there are Office 365, Visual Studio, Hotmail, Skype, Bing, Azure. Some of them can be replaced easily, but some of them can't be, for instance Visual Studio, Azure, Office 365, and Windows. It's very difficult to replace them easily. Some might argue what about AWS? But I don't see any difference between Jeff and Bill. Both are scums.
How I solved all of these personally:
Vim, use a vps instead of an over priced product, built my own from scratch on the web, and linux.
Not since the 90s. It was obvious even back then that he was a world-class sociopath.
Bill Gates has nothing to do with Microsoft nowadays
I've never paid for a Microsoft product
Linux is too hard to setup and manage. All I need now though is a web browser so I probably could. The thing is if people won't drink pepsi instead of coke or cancel disney+ it seems unlikely they will switch operating systems.
But Pepsi is just as evil. Have you seen their diversity and wokeism training? Remember when they tried to get in on the Occupy Wall Street movement with their protest commercial with everyone including the cops dancing together in the street? They're no different! The majority of mainstream brands participate in some form of wokeism.
Linux is literally quicker to install than windows and just pressing OK will install it. Just like any OS, unless you are trying to run it on the very edge of the hardware's ability all the time, like a server, you don't really need to manage it. Use it, install software, use it more with the new software.
I would have if there were any distro from Linux that was worth a shit and could do everything I want to do without having to install all sorts of drivers and special software (that I don't know how to do) just to run a game. Also, the learning curve when you've used Windows for 30 years is a tough transition to make. But I really want to.
Linux in general is pretty awesome but I get what you’re saying that a lot of Linux software sucks. People also pretend it doesn’t which compounds the problem.
Also video games are degenerate
Excessive video game usage, like anything, can be a degenerate behavior, but video games themselves are not degenerate.
Degenerate: Having lost the physical, mental, or moral qualities considered normal and desirable; showing evidence of decline.
I agree
No, I got tired of crashes and having to update the damn system 50 times a week. Switched to Linux have had nowhere near the issues I used to have with Window$.
I had bought a pc a little before it started, used it for like 6 months, it was a total pos. I returned it and it was partly due to the lockdown bs.
Libreoffice has always been free.
Funny, microsoft office and windows has always been free also.
so has microsoft windows
only it actually works properly.
only it actually works properly
Debatable
We 2005 now
same with windows.
you can download an image online anyway then get a kms service.
eula conditions are illegal in australia so its essentially completely free software they cant do diddly shit about.
