sic_semper_tyrannis, to foss in [ANSWERED]libreoffice or onlyoffice?

I use OnlyOffice and enjoy it. I do notice some fancy features missing but as I’m not a power user it doesn’t bother me. I’ve opened OnlyOffice docx files in MS Office and vice versa many times with no issues ever. I’ve also installed MS fonts on my Linux distro and they work in OnlyOffice. I don’t notice it pushing online features like somebody else said

Your car is spying on you (if it’s new-ish)

Use Ublock Origin and be sure to select better filters, get her using Bitwarden the password manager, and use Quad9 DNS to block lots of bad websites and malware.

O&O Shutup is a nice Windows software to block lots of crap.

Not normal for me

That looks like a pretty nifty OS. If I can’t get the software working via Wine or something I’ll definitely try this before Windows in a VM

sic_semper_tyrannis, to linux in Professional Engine Tuning Software

Thank you. I’ll be sure to that I have the libraries I need

sic_semper_tyrannis, to linux in Are there any Windows-exclusive programs you use?

Interesting. I use it on Linux and haven’t had the issue of uninstallable games. I wish Playnite had a Linux client

I have previously used VirtualBox successfully. I am really trying to stay away from Windows if at all possible. If I absolutely had to I might run a VM with WinXP or Vista just for it

sic_semper_tyrannis, to linux in Professional Engine Tuning Software

I totally get what you’re saying. Luckily for me the program just runs formulas so I can figure out for instance what size plenum, what length runners, what size turbo, etc. I need. I’m not using it to flash a tune as my engine is too old for that fancy stuff

sic_semper_tyrannis, to linux in Professional Engine Tuning Software

I’m getting Windows out of my life. I’ll look into Wine again

sic_semper_tyrannis, to linux in Professional Engine Tuning Software

Like running Windows in a VM with the program? I really don’t want Windows in my life if possible

I tried Lutris first and it was okay but left something to be desired. I switched to Heroic and am in love with it. It works so well and the UI is great

sic_semper_tyrannis, to linux in My experience using Fedora Atomic (Budgie) for a month or two.

Very reasonable, thank you

sic_semper_tyrannis, to linux in My experience using Fedora Atomic (Budgie) for a month or two.

Can you elaborate on why new Linux users shouldn’t use an Atomic system? I’ve been looking to try one so I have no experience as of yet. My Dad wants to try Linux with his upcoming new computer. I was thinking Fedora Kinoite as from what I understand, they just work and have a very low chance of breaking. He doesn’t do anything beyond the basic computing tasks like web browsing, writing documents and spreadsheets, and archiving photos. Do you think it wouldn’t be good for him?

I just read this in their FAQ: “We can’t tell the exact price yet. However it will be at the lower end of Steamdeck pricing.”
