Office 365 [âŚ] i know we can use the web version
tbf, this isnât the only software related problem. a lot of companies also use specially developed software that doesnât have a linux version because everyone in the company is using windows anyways and adding a different release target would likely add costs and consume more development time for those internal tools
I shouldâve mentioned Iâve been practically only in IT companies. We never really had speciality software of any kind. In fact I couldâve done all of my work in Linux except for a couple of times where I had to develop in c# and .net wasnât ported to Linux yet.
But the things Iâve mentioned were what was holding the company back from giving me a Linux machine.
tbf i am the other extreme: i work in a material science lab so we work almost exclusively with specialized/custom software
Oh yeah. Thatâs even worse because sometimes the machines outlive the computers and software and then youâre stuck maintaining a Windows 95 machine because the software was developed for that OS and the company has since came up with new machines with new software and they donât support your machine anymore.
