Remember: big corpo trains you to depend on them since childhood in schools, which all use Office.

lmao I remember getting schooled by a math teacher when I tried to use libreoffice calc instead of excel on an assignment back in highschool

detail: all the school computers ran linux. fuck whoever didn't have a pc with windows at home

she brought her windows laptop and attached it to the projector and expected everyone to have the assignment files in a format excel could read

problem is, at least going 12 years back, not all calc functions and/or param names translate directly to excel ones

so when she opened the file, which I made sure was one excel could read, there was a bunch of gibberish on some cells

when I told her it worked as intended on libreoffice, she said something along the lines of: you don't go to church using the same clothes that you use when going to a nightclub

anyway, at least the school was trying not to depend on windows
