I've used LibreOffice for years. I won't load Microsoft Office. LibreOffice is truly excellent. FWIW I run a home Linux file server. #LibreOffice #Linux

I haven't used Office in years. I used to use OpenOffice, initially just because I couldn't afford MS Office. However, as I learned about privacy and digital sovereignty (such as the libre software movement), it made me realize that I made the right choice. I made an even better choice finally migrating to LibreOffice; I can't see myself ever going to anything else at this point.

My traumatic event with Microsoft software that had me switch to Linux was in 1997. Haven't looked back!

I'm less tempted to boot into Windows to play my one game with each passing day.

Any chance it runs under Steam with Proton? I'm shocked how many Windows games I can play on Linux nowadays. At this point Linux is a better gaming platform for me than macOS.

Nope, Bungie is staunchly anti-Linux. The game, Destiny 2, uses BattlEye, so it could run on Linux just fine, but Bungie refuses because we're all just cheaters, I guess. It's stupid, but I'm weaning myself off the game anyway. Otherwise, I do all of my gaming on Linux. It's fantastic.

I felt the same way about deciding to not use Facebook, and then Facebook repeatedly was caught violating privacy laws.
However, no one else seemed to care, and my feelings of being justified remained a personal quiet feeling.

I am guessing that people will continue using Windows and MS products no matter what, as long as it continues to be considered "the industry standard" (what they told me in college)

Do you know any 10" devices with touchpad and keyboard for Linux? I'm currently using an old Surface when I don't use my Lenovo X230 (that runs under Linux). But it is getting old and it runs under Windows 10 ...

I agree. I have a office family (for the 6tb) but it's starting to make me want to switch away from it. As for the OS I can't use it anymore, I even convinced my company to switch me to mac just so I can have a unix system (I had no choice for a linux system)

Finally Microsoft have declared "the year of Linux"!
