  • Microsoft's planned new AI trick for Edge will 'automatically open the Copilot side pane' with Outlook email links — and I can feel the hate already

  • 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.

  • Manjaro let their SSL certificate expire again

    Jump

  • Yeah I did mention in my above comments that derivatives like CachyOS makes sense because they fundamentally change how your computer operates. I just don’t feel the same way with Manjaro that’s all.

  • Manjaro let their SSL certificate expire again

    Jump

  • Yeah I did mention in my above comments that using derivatives that fundamentally how your computer works is fine (like CachyOS). I myself was considering to switch for the performance gains.

    You can try archinstall. I think you will like it.

  • Manjaro let their SSL certificate expire again

  • More like the manufacturer has stated that this car is meant to be built by the user themselves so they can understand it and maintain it by themselves, but then the user outsources it to a car builder who thinks one specific way of doing things is better (nothing wrong with it) instead and they slap their own branding on it. Then if the car breaks down due to a part incompatibility, the user doesn’t know what shit to do.

  • Manjaro let their SSL certificate expire again

    Jump

  • I mean I get it. I am not an Arch elitist or something. Manjaro is doing something nobel. But it just goes against Arch’s philosophy of building and maintaining your own system and being responsible for it. That’s why I don’t see the point of Manjaro other than beginners saying “I use Arch btw”.

  • Manjaro let their SSL certificate expire again

    Jump

  • Arch derivatives that don’t do anything to the core packages or the root system seem very pointless to me. Because you can setup Vanilla Arch to be exactly like that derivative if you wanted to since Arch being a DIY distro. Arch based derivatives create unnecessary fragmentation in already fragmented Linux world. Arch itself is targeted for intermediate to advanced users to build a system from base.

    It makes sense to make derivatives from Debian or Fedora because they have a lot of stuff packed in them for them to be user friendly and work out-of-the-box experience — then derivatives can add from or reduce from to make a distro designed for a specific use which can take much longer time than if the user did it by themselves since those parent distros are usually targeted for non tech enthusiasts.

  • Manjaro let their SSL certificate expire again

    Jump

  • Yeah but Manjaro’s stable repo is around 2 weeks behind Arch’s. So basically any package in the AUR that has newer dependencies might not work well with packages from Manjaro’s repository. So basically you leave out Arch’s main feature half-broken. Thus, usually, people recommend to run pacman+flatpak instead of AUR. Vanilla Arch has worked flawlessly for me. Once an update borked my system but it took like 10mins to rollback and restore to a working snapshot with Timeshift. And has been running flawlessly since then.

    Arch is pretty rock stable when you have minimal packages and not the most bleeding edge hardware.

  • Manjaro let their SSL certificate expire again

    Jump

  • Then why not just update vanilla Arch itself on a monthly basis? Or just use something like Fedora or Bazzite. Using Manjaro kinda defeats the whole purpose of using Arch Linux. It is like getting someone to select your custom PC parts and letting them build your PC. You technically still have a custom PC but is it really?

  • Manjaro let their SSL certificate expire again

    Jump

  • Why don’t people just use Arch directly instead of using derivatives? Well… I can understand using something like CachyOS as it has a different kernel with optimisations but Manjaro feels very irrelevant. If you just want Arch Linux with simple installation, just use the archinstall script. Regardless of which derivative you use, Arch based distros are going to be heavy maintenance than something like Bazzite, Mint or Ubuntu.

  • LibreOffice blasts 'fake open source' OnlyOffice for working with Microsoft to lock users in

  • 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.

  • Firefox is ending support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, and users are urged to switch to Linux

    Jump

  • 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.
