    We recently got hdr support tho

    And lack of Adobe is a feature, not an issue.

    Linux wins again.

    [–] Echo5@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

    To access a lot of pdfs used in the military you need adobe or it won’t open, you get this stupid screen telling you to download the latest version. So it’s required for some jobs :(

    I think most of the complaints are that Microsoft Office doesn't work. Which is true. The web version of Microsoft Office is honestly kinda terrible.

    And no, people don't want to use a product that does the same thing as Microsoft Office, they want to use a product called "Microsoft Office". No, it's not logical, and doesn't make any sense at all but it's how people are.

    The only sense it makes is that M$ hasn't followed the spec, and so things done in office display fine in say libreOffice, but not the other way around. So if your company is willing to transition, but everyone you deal with outside the company is still on Office, there's a bit of a communication issue. That's M$'s biggest strength, homogenous work environments.

    That's why my business only uses pure, crisp .txt files. If I can't open it in notepad, I don't want it!

    I have unironically been preaching the powers of text and JSON, and have some converts. Universal compatibility is great.

    You spelt monopoly wrong.

    [–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 4 months ago

    So use OnlyOffice instead of LibreOffice

    Edit the menu entry?

    My dad initially wanted his old Norton Antivirus, so i made an internet shortcut with the logo and name, to a webpage explaining why antivirus sucks.

    [–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    I have seriously considered trying to install Microsoft Office 2024 (aka OnlyOffice) for a family member to see if they even notice.

    [–] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    OnlyOffice is pretty nice for homegamers I think. I just don't need or want a full up heavyweight office suite anymore. And I've gotten to the point where I remove LibreOffice and replace it with OnlyOffice every time.

    So do it, just do it. You know you want to........

    [–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    Oh I run OnlyOffice locally and in NextCloud already ;) So it would only be for someone who lives in another state, simply to see the reaction.

    Ironically, Microsoft has retired the "Microsoft Office" name.

    [–] Somethingcheezie@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

    Our company has bought into the whole onedrive/teams/ Microsoft family.

    They’ll do what the IT guy says but that first time copilot popped up grrr

    Last time I tried HDR on Windows, that sucked too.

    My Android TV and consoles are about the only devices where it works properly.

    [–] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

    HDR games is fucking baller on the steam deck. I'm legitimately thinking of switching to kde from sway so I can take advantage of it on my new OLED monitor.

    [–] Metz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

    HDR works. On KDE Wayland and in games only with Gamescope, but we are getting there. And there is the Steam Deck of course.

    The funniest thing is, people say Linux is not ready, cause [insert feature] doesn't work. The problem is said feature doesn't work on Windows either.

    For example pausing/resuming playback across multiple appliacations using media keys. It's not perfect on Linux (not every app uses MPRIS), but it's not great on Winodws either

    [–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

    Hell tbh I never use my pause/resume button, I just hit "p." I <3 VLC

    I actually do use acrobat for legal document work

    It good for adding signatures and making changes to pdf format schtuff

    [–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    what do you use for illegal documents?

    If that's your only use case you can also use Xournal++ on Linux which does the job.

    Of course your choice of OS is totally up to you and you don't have to justify it to anyone, just letting you know the tool exists.

    [–] Opafi@feddit.de 1 points 4 months ago (8 children)

    Xournal lets you paint on a document, which I guess isn't what they need when they talk about legal stuff. Digitally signing a document is still one of the rare cases where I boot up my windows vm. It's so annoying that there's practically no way to do that in Linux as my company's processes rely on it.

    [–] irmoz@reddthat.com 1 points 4 months ago

    Okular can digitally sign

    [–] Nisaea@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago

    We use foxit reader on Linux for that at work.

    [–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

    Ohhhh yeah you're right, I forgot digitally signing is different from just painting a signature on there >< .

    HDR is awesome if you have the right hardware. I've never seen a movie look so good. Someone needs to get HDR working.

    [–] Robin@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

    It works in KDE + Wayland.. mostly.. for applications that support it.. and there was this update that ruined my color profile for a while but they fixed that now!
