I only need simple excel and mostly rely on word processing so I’ve never actually known what exactly ms excel has that libre doesn’t

Is it like actual macro/coding capabilities within excel or just convenience/file compatibility stuff?

Fortunately it takes only around 5 minutes of customizing the appearance of libreoffice to have it exactly how you want it

Yeah because your conduct is likely to make them and others think poorly of Linux when it’s eagerly foisted upon them by a plucky nerd

So it’s important to tell people like you to relax and let your family voluntarily come to you asking for Linux instead of enthusiastically try to convert them

No they won’t you’re just projecting and should leave them alone

You’re clearly desperate to proselytize the greatness of Linux when you should instead just enjoy it yourself and if they want to switch they’ll ask you in the future

Don’t mess with other people’s computers and switch their operating systems around unless they actually want you to

Just mind your own business very few people care about “the freedom of linux”

Yeah it’s definitely a bit weird to setup but I don’t think I can leave gnome now that I’ve finally made it mine

You can actually buy Linux computers from dell and Lenovo and they’re even cheaper because you don’t pay for the Microsoft license

The article directly states that some of these restrictions are for security purposes.

Freedom and security are quintessential partners across many spheres of life and that is indeed the relationship being discussed here

I don’t jailbreak my phone anymore for that exact reason. My personal phone is simply not for playing with anymore. Especially now that it’s connected to financial and confidential information.

There is no perfect security but iOS is by far the best preconfigured option for the ordinary person.

Apart from that the real most important thing is for everyone to always practice basic privacy and security hygiene

Do you verify each custom rom is safe and has no malicious code?

I used to flash roms all the time…it’s really mostly for fun and I don’t have time for that anymore

iOS is safe, secure, and everything works as is and that’s what matters to me and most people in real life

Unless you flash your own Android roms you don’t control your phone neither

And tbh I trust Apple significantly more than phone carriers and android manufacturers when it comes to my device and its software
