On: Microsoft just delayed Recall again

[sva_]

What exactly keeps people on Windows if they feel like theyre in such a relationship with their operating system?

[toasteros → sva_]

In my household it's MS Office. My partner very much enjoys the UX of KDE, but can't switch because she's highly reliant on features in MS Office that I cannot find transliterated well enough to work on Linux. Otherwise, there is no place for Windows in my house.

[Novosell → toasteros]

It doesn't have all the features, but there is a web version of Office now. Might be worth a look?

[toasteros → Novosell]

It isn't sufficient if you're fluent in Excel, which she needs more than any other part of Office.

[Novosell → toasteros]

Aye, feared as much.

[compsciphd → toasteros]

back in the day, I had little problem using crossover for office support.

Personally? Inertia. I hate switching tools/systems unless absolutely necessary. If I were a frog you could absolutely boil me.

[deprecative → sva_]

For me? Gaming and lack of alternatives. I hate MacOS' hostility toward anything not Jobsian, and Linux doesn't have parity with Windows particularly around gaming.

[FragenAntworten → sva_]

I prefer Linux, but I dual-boot Windows for gaming, since I haven't been able to get my Nvidia card to work at its full capacity on Linux.
