In the end? When they bribed the ISO into making OOXML a standard, what Office actually saved was incompatible with that standard on day one.
OOXML becoming an ISO standard was entirely to undermine the development of OpenDocument as an open standard. If they hadn't done that, governments asking for open standards might have required OpenDocument. Now, since OOXML is an open standard, they're immune from that even if they never bothered to implement that standard correctly.
Canonically she uses Copland OS, which is named after an abandoned Mac OS 8 prototype but is functionally completely different. Given that Copland OS is built to access what works like a crossbreed between the internet and and the Zone from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, I think it's reassuring that we don't have it in our world.
Especially for her, seeing that we know she doesn't use Windows.
I run Garuda because it's a more convenient Arch with most relevant things preinstalled. I wanted a rolling release distro because in my experience traditional distros are stable until you have to do a version upgrade, at which point everything breaks and you're better off just nuking the root partition and reinstalling from scratch. Rolling release distros have minor breakage all the time but don't have those situations where you have to fix everything at the same time with a barely working emergency shell.
The AUR is kinda nice as well. It certainly beats having to manually configure/make obscure software myself.
For the desktop I use KDE. I like the traditional desktop approach and I like being able to customize my environment. Also, I disagree with just about every decision the Gnome team has made since GTK3 so sticking to Qt programs where possible suits me fine. I prefer Wayland over X11; it works perfectly fine for me and has shiny new features X11 will never have.
I also have to admit I'm happy with systemd as an init system. I do have hangups over the massive scope creep of the project but the init component is pleasant to work with.
Given that after a long spell of using almost exclusively Windows I came back to desktop Linux only after windows 11 was announced, I'm quite happy with how well everything works. Sure, it's not without issues but neither is Windows (or macOS for that matter).
I also have Linux running on my home server but that's just a fire-and-forget CoreNAS installation that I tell to self-update every couple months. It does what it has to with no hassle.
And that's the thing: If you only go to the gym to pick up women because your horrible personality won't cut it, you'll go home disappointed.
That's a pattern I generally see with these self-loathing greentexts: The posters have "ambitions" (read: feel entitled to success, money, and/or women) but don't want to put in consistent effort or figure out why things are going wrong for them. Instead they project all the blame onto the rest of the world and spiral into depression.
When they do decide to put in the effort you usually get something along these lines:
> be me
> ugly and everyone hates me
> go to the gym to get a bod I can pick up females with bc they're all shallow
> actually get into working out
> become friends with the gym bros
> now I feel great, have a sixpack and real friends
> itsthateasy.tif
Now the big question is how many patents are relevant and who owns them. And even if it turns out to have cheap licensing, beating HDMI won't be easy, as DisplayPort demonstrates. Technological superiority doesn't mean shit if you can't overcome HDMI's network effect.
Someone ziptied the ring to a 10 mm wrench socket. Wrench sockets have a reputation for inexplicably getting lost, never to be found again.
There's less than thirty of these in the wild so seeing one end up as bycatch is a sobering reminder of the consequences of overfishing. If we don't start taking ocean preservation seriously we might at some point find that not just the Virginia-class but all nuclear-powered cruise missile fast attack submarines have gone extinct.
And you can't even safely eat them; they're full of heavy metals like uranium.
We know that people have different chronotypes. We even know that most people of working age aren't really morning people. Unfortunately, our business world assumes a standard circadian rhythm and is structured around getting up early because people needed to use every bit of daylight way back when. So that sucks, especially if you're an evening or even night person.

They did, about three times, each time abandoning it before the ecosystem could stabilize.
Admittedly, the last time nobody even wanted to buy in because everyone expected them to drop the OS within two years. Which they promptly did.
