You should add a disclaimer stating that you have used an LLM. I have done so for a tool I built with an LLM that I needed, because I don’t know jackshit about coding and I am not gonna pretend I do.

Lol our store is doing billing customer management in google chrome on Debian With KDE Plasma on 8GB DDR3 pentium something. It was running Windows 7 6 months ago with 4gb ram for the same purpose. I then put a Sata SSD, increased the RAM to 8 and installed Debian. The laptops then would have costed like 300 USD and the upgrades costed like 30usd each laptpp for 4 laptops.

You really don’t need a soldered Half eaten and overpriced Apple laptop to do what you’re saying. Even an old laptop does it with few tweaks for fraction of the cost while keeping all the good stuff from those laptops like shit ton of ports. The only advantage of this mac is that its battery drain is quite low being ARM.

You are delusional, take yourself to the infirmary.

Imagine what the world could be if we had repairable Arch Linux Phones that can go full desktop mode just like the pixel rn. Aaahhh that turns me on!🤤

Fuckers don’t even have a Linux Client.

Ig then maybe they have just accepted that everyone will jump the OS ship sooner or later, so they are just trying to lock people in their ecosystem? That’s why they make us create a Microsoft account on Windows, the sudden “We Love Linux” moto, making Cloud your dependency stuff.

At this point I believe Microsoft pays the likes of Adobe to not make Linux versions of their software. Strange how MacOS has Microsoft office despite being them being the biggest competitor for their OS. It’s just that MacOS runs only on expensive MacBooks. Microsoft might have thought even if Macs get better than Windows in every aspect, people, businesses, schools and governments still won’t but them as they are too expensive.

But that’s not the case with Linux. Linux is pretty much better than Windows in almost every aspect. The only limiting factor is software support. And most people just use their computers for browsing the web and making spreadsheets and word docs — Microsoft office is the default here. If Microsoft Office were on Linux, Microsoft would have the potential to lose about half of their OS market share just because managers/CEOs will push it to save costs. Which will have a cascading effect — leading others like Adobe to make their creative suites available on Linux.

So Microsoft’s only card at play here is holding off Microsoft Office from Linux users as long as possible.

Even your web browser is a decent PDF reader. Also LibreOffice Draw shows PDF pretty well and you can also edit it to some extent.

Try onlyoffice and slowly try to shift to libreoffice with open document formats. Or just skip that part and move everyone to the web versions of office. Also if you guys are on office 2010, the last time I ran it via wine, it worked completely fine.

It won’t die. My country alone will have almost a billion Android users and those cheap Androids are all they can afford and know.

Until Linux Phones get good, we are seeing a very rough sail ahead. Or just hard fork Android ig if it’s a logical option.
