The reason why I still use Windows is Excel, because everyone still relies on Excel formulas and macros 🙄

Doesn't the browser version do the trick?

Ver often, it doesn't. I had to use Excel for some asignments, and because I'm on a pretty low end machine, I ended up dualbooting.

You can use it using your browser with Office 365, no ?

Honestly, if Solaar supported the dpi toggle and remapping my extra keys on my MX Ergo, I might be using Linux daily. But it doesn't. So I can't. :(

Are you using 1.1.9? I have remap ability

[-] Millie@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I think so. It clicks the button, it just won't hold it. And the precision mode dpi adjustment thing doesn't work at all.

@Steamymoomilk recently had to do a clean win 11 install. Spent a day trying to get the Intel RST driver loaded just to begin install. After trying various sources including the recovery media from manufacturer had to take it to a few repair centers(many claimed bad SSD even though I explained what driver was needed) to just install the OS it came with.

Same laptop have installed a half dozen linux distros with no such issue.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
