Running libreoffice for windows on wine
Imagine paying 80 bucks to run office.
- Word? Markdown/((Xe)La)TeX!
- PowerPoint? Beamer!
- Excel? Well, fuck this; any proper programming language does the job waaaaay better;
- Whatever their crappy attempt at db-s was called? Literally any non-crappy dbms.
LaTeX is shit at this point. Check out https://github.com/typst/typst. I cannot go back to the awful syntax in a powerful LuaLaTeX.
Hm, looks somewhat less painful to type. Otherwise, needs further investigation; tnx!
It’s in the beta, but actively being developed. You can do a lot of stuff already, but a lot of stuff is either not implemented or janky. Overall I can cope with that. If you want to add something, just know how to write in Rust.
Excel, not true. I mean libreoffice calc just works for a lot but not for easy basic graphs. And it does not do the job better at graphically ebabling users to do data analysis
Honest question: does Crossover actually increases compatibility over raw Wine or PlayOnLinux?
What’s wrong with just using Libre Office?
Never seems to get Office documents dodgy formatting right. OnlyOffice seems to do a much better job of replicating MS Office.
Why do you need Ms office at all these days when you have libreoffice
Because all your colleagues and collaborators use it because it comes free with the company…
