I’ve recently switched to Linux (Debian Bookworm) because I was tired of all the bullshits I had to deal with when using Windows, especially when developing software.
Now I really have to use MS Office applications for my school. Libreoffice is good but not completely compatible with MSOffice, like I can’t use the log graph in the template provided. And their web apps are nearly unusable (especially with Firefox and its variants) , so I need desktop versions.
I can use VM maybe but I don’t want to pay for the Windows license.
How do you guys manage to open MS files appropriately?
It sounds like the only problem is that you can’t edit a graph in a template, is that true? Any chance you can post the file, or perhaps just the graph section of the file? If it’s rendering properly in LibreOffice then I suspect someone can figure out how to edit it.
