I hate windows. But I have to use it for work. The worse it gets, the more I want to break free completely, minimise my exposure to this OS. The only part I truly cannot do without I think is Microsoft Excel.
Replacing with Excel 2016 or only using webversion or so is insufficient for sure, for work it needs the SharePoint/auto save etc etc stuff. Also power query getting data from SharePoint online.
Replacing with Libreoffice or so seems completely impossible, there's too many 'special' files in organisation, with .xlsm macro mess, I don't control all that, I can't fully steer away from such mess but need full functional access.
Other than Excel, I think I could do all my work from a Linux desktop.
Is it possible by now, reliably working in an up to date excel from a base system Linux? What is the way? Have people done this? How? Do I need to run a virtual machine with win11? How do I do that? Does anyone here have experience with it? I have high degree of control over work devices and boss couldn't care less, as long as I can get my work done.
Thanks and sorry if this is the wrong community for this question (where would it belong better?)
Infuriaring isnt it!
We just moved to m365 and it sucks, excel is less user friendly than sheets and I hate both.
I get it is needed for its power usage but i detest it. I cannot fathom how a suite of software as bad as m365 is just out there being used.
Calendar sucks. Outlook sucks. Excel sucks. Word sucks. Powerpoint is fine. Sharepoint is woeful. How many other half apps are connected? Loops, etc.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah
The crown jewel of shittiness in their suite has got to be Teams. Such a dogshit chat program.
Its crazy you can fail so badly at cloning a competitors product yet still be so successful
