Background: Because of savings in infrastructure, I was allowed to switch some clients to Linux. Mostly those people who always failed on M$ Office, too, now complains about libreoffice.
What does this even mean? I must have had a stroke while reading this.
I think it means like someone complains about Linux, saying it’s not user friendly, when that same person has just as many issues with a Windows/Mac machine.

First, how does one even “fail” on MSO?
Secondly, you switched over the least tech savvy people that relied solely on an existing workflow to get anything done. You destroyed their workflow, denied them the option to use older documents as a reference due to how badly messed up MS documents often get when opened with Libre and you gave them an alternative that’s just different enough that nothing works as expected, but still similar enough to just be seen as a different office version.
These are the last clients id switch over.

We will PRACTICE! TOGETHER!
What were you trying to say in other words? Then I’ll retype the original for ya :)
One of my annoyances about “switching to linux” discussion is that people seem to think of linux as a “free windows”. Everything has to work like in windows, everything has to be in the same position as in windows, etc. They can’t accept that linux is a different OS, with its own ways of doing things, but somehow macOS get a pass.
No no bro you don’t do that. Just let them use ms office. If they’re tech savvy and want to switch then that’s their choice.
What does that even mean? Are less tech savvy people making fun of others facing issues with few Linux clients?
If you want better compatibility with Microsoft Office files, you could use WPS Office. It has given me better results overall than OnlyOffice and far better than LibreOffice.
Not dissing the other suites, I like LibreOffice for daily use but there’s nothing I can do about M$ Office templates bugging out because they don’t follow their own OOXML implementation properly.
WPS had some annoying bugs in the past. Sheets for example had the wrong locales, £ instead of € or $.
lol, dude. Just turn it off and back on again, okay. Simple!
