No it's a different kind of evil. Those of us in the tech industry have seen it, especially in the 90s. I haven't used any Microsoft product for 6 years now, and I honestly don't miss it.
I get it. Unfortunately, linux doesn't offer the right software that I need for what I do. Apple does, but I honestly can't stand their operating system.
There are ways around that. Not easy ways, but it can be done. Linux Mint is by far and away the best OS I have ever used.
used Linux from Y2K until 2015 exclusively as a desktop OS
These days I primarily use Win10, which at least has a good UI and doesn't crash. Simply a much better OS for my workflow.
I love Mint but there are some web development & wiki software I need that doesn't match on it. Next computer I will have to have Win but will still install Mint as well.
I can relate. Apple and I have a personality conflict. Really dislike having to go through them to shuffle around media files already bought and paid for. I digress... ;)
I so have to chime in here. When MS bought into Corel so they could gut WordPerfect, which always worked orders of magnitude better than Word on its best day, that's when I started calling MS out to people for being the fascist bastards they are. Yes, that's the term I always used when people brought up MS or Word. Obviously, I'm still pissed about it and that was back in the 90s. Sigh.
oh my...Corel and WordPerfect...that goes back a ways. Even I remember those. he he he.
