How do you explain to your co-workers that you use Libre Office Writer and other Linux apps?

Isn’t just awkward that you use a different app? How do you explain?

I was asked by a friend of the family why I had to “mod” everything, “You make it all so it doesn’t work right!”

…because “working right” in this day and age is a privacy nightmare, a security disaster, and relinquishing your rights, duh! Then I asked her how much the lawyer cost to understand what she’s agreeing to in all the EULAs of services she’s signed up for just to make things “work right”.

They’re free to set it up themselves.

Yeah, they don’t bring their stuff around for help anymore. They’re probably afraid I’ll wipe it and install Debian. 🤣 It’s been a long time; I’m an Arch fiend by now.

Linux

!linux@lemmy.ml

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
