minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•2 years agoWho tf wants usability when shit just has a solution no matter what. Additionally its an old program that a normal person wouldn’t even try. On windows shit just doesn’t work and the solutions are most of the time not even existing.
minus-square@dustojnikhummerlink1•2 years ago On windows shit just doesn’t work and the solutions are most of the time not even existing. You got it mixed up. Old Windows compatibility is much better than old Linux compatibility. Try running OpenOffice 1.0 on Debian 12 Meanwhile running Office 03 on Windows 11 is almost as simple as actually installing it
