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.

Id’ say your comparison pictured is not valid. It’s not the same document in both programs. On the left you have opened Lorem Ipsum.docs and on the right you have a new untitled document.

If one truly wants to share final documents use pdf not a draft format like docx.

Yes its the same document. The only thing I did is “open a copy” because the document was locked in the other editor.

People share unfinished documents with each other and formatting should hold, otherwise how can you collaborate?

If you just copy paste something it’s not the same. If you want to make a true comparison you have open the same file in both.

And I was talking about finished documents.

There was no copy past here. If you have a docx open in MS Word and try to open it again with LibreOffice you’ll get this message:

I just clicked the default “Open Copy” option. The result is what you saw.

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.
