    WannaCrypt Makes an Easy Case for Linux

    Understood. Anyway, thanks for clearing that up. I tend to avoid Microsoft document formats anyway nowadays. I typically try to save in ODF or PDF formats. But still... You should give Linux another go. This time, build a dedicated box for it and try to migrate a few projects to it. Think of...

    WannaCrypt Makes an Easy Case for Linux

    I've always had issues. Albeit, I never used Excel 2016, so could that have been the difference? Hard to say, but I'm certainly convinced that the backwards compatibility is there! Thanks for proving that to me. So, what about forward compatibility? If I buy Office 2013 or Office XP, can I read...

    WannaCrypt Makes an Easy Case for Linux

    I can't see the screenshots all too well. I want to believe it's calculating perfectly on your screen, but I can't tell! Are the list of armor and weapons listed? The screenshot on the far left looks right, but I can't see it!

    That's just the intro tab. Show the Fury tab, please.... I don't think so... Like what? What have I said that has been inaccurate?

    WannaCrypt Makes an Easy Case for Linux

    No, it's not. If you want to fight with this particular document yourself and see what I'm talking about, you can go here: http://patsworld.net/wowfury.xlsm No need. However, I see you missed the point entirely. And you assume that I haven't used these tools. That's your biggest problem...

    WannaCrypt Makes an Easy Case for Linux

    It's very true, because I've ran into this very issue myself. Office 2013 is not compatible with older versions. I tried to open a Microsoft Office 97 document concerning World of Warcraft gear spec'ing. When it opened, it first complained, but when I forced it to open it up, it was completely...

    WannaCrypt Makes an Easy Case for Linux

    Libreoffice is more compatible to Microsoft Office than Microsoft Office is to itself. In Libreoffice, I can still read Microsoft Office 97 documents. In the latest version of Office, you cannot do this. Yet, you complain about Office compatibility. This is called an oxymoron. Like I've...

    WannaCrypt Makes an Easy Case for Linux

    You say this a lot, but you haven't shown me what business need you had that Linux could not satisfy. You seem to only mention gaming, so I compromised with you by revealing that I use Windows only for gaming (which I've actually mentioned earlier on this thread). Yet, even outside of the realm...

    WannaCrypt Makes an Easy Case for Linux

    Linux is quite user friendly. ChromeOS runs on the Linux kernel. They currently use Chromebooks in schools, and students and teachers alike love it. If Linux wasn't user friendly, it wouldn't be used.

    WannaCrypt Makes an Easy Case for Linux

    Maybe... But let's get down to the bottom of it, shall we? Why not just use both? Use Windows for games and use Linux for everything else. Look. I'm a PC gaming enthusiast. I have a gaming rig running Windows 10. I'm an AMD fan, so I run an AMD FX 8350 with 2x R9 290s running in Crossfire...

    Linus Has Some Things to Say about Core i9 and X299

    What is JayzTwoCents opinion? I'm subscribed to him on YouTube, but I've never really heard of his opinions on Linus.

    WannaCrypt Makes an Easy Case for Linux

    You see, I don't think you're being honest. Nvidia's 3D vision has Linux support: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2652/~/is-3d-vision-supported-in-linux? My guess is that you never even tried to get Linux to run. You just assumed it wouldn't run and gave up. You lose a great...

    WannaCrypt Makes an Easy Case for Linux

    In my experience, I have always found it much much more difficult to get Windows working on a box than Linux. With Linux, it's very easy, because most support is written directly in the kernel. What you may not understand is that manufacturers contact Linus Torvalds and they either offer their...

    Linus Has Some Things to Say about Core i9 and X299

    I enjoy him. However, you gotta understand what his target audience is, and that's consumer level gaming. If you aren't in that crowd, you're not going to like him.
  15. Q

    WannaCrypt Makes an Easy Case for Linux

    That's not true. What works in one distro can work in them all. That's not the case with Windows, because each subsequent version can have huge incompatibility issues due to the differences in the Windows architecture from version to version. The architecture in Linux is the same between all...
