I made this post because I am really curious if Linux is used in offices and educational centres like schools.

While we all know Windows is the mac-daddy in the business space, are there any businesses you know or workplaces that actually Linux as a business replacement for Windows?

I.e. Mint or Ubuntu, I am not strictly talking about the server side of things.

    This is wrong about excel. Most thing excel do can be done with libreoffice. People are lazy to learn and convert their documents, and Microsoft does everything possible to make this harder.

      Now you’re showing your ignorance - your statement is empirically false.

        Maybe you don’t know what empirically means? Your ignorance is not a proof for anything. I know what I can do with libreoffice, and I am very mediocre with it. I’ve never seen an excel document that couldn’t be done with libreoffice.

        And I wrote most things that can be done with excel. Now, if you want something that can be debated, I posit that anything that can’t be done in libreoffice calc but can be in excel is not worth doing in excel.
