I'm happy that some are finding their time with MS products useful. They occasionally have good products (Win 3.1, XP, 7, and after LOTS of issues, 10 is OK). However, 10 is way too invasive for me... the telemetry, tracking, odd OS required applications starting, virus protection applications slowing everything down etc. and yes the fact that SC runs on it so well is MOSTLY due to SC engineering IMO. (Correction 100 Percent due to SC engineering) For me, MS Excel was the most challenging to replace in Linux (and frankly I still keep an MS Windows laptop around in case I have a client that requires the advanced VB code I've developed). Ah but then... the code will probably require HOURS of rework because of course that is how MS works...every new version breaks the prior version. Good luck with Windows 11. Over the last 30+ year, I have been proficient with 7+ languages: (VBA, JCL, JS, C++, Machine language, Fortran, Pascal, Java, SQL, DBase, Foxpro and others) and MS is worst for consistent compatibility. Anyway..I turn the MS laptop on 1 time a month to keep the OS updated and occasionally to get SC support when I find a bug... and of course MS routinely has some kind of ridiculous update issue that takes an hour or more to resolve. I've used MS Excel since inception and also MS Access before MS even owned it, but the roller coaster MS BS (fix, break, fix, break) was just too much. 6 years ago I started documenting my Linux journey. (@VLiviu..this was long after you made the switch and I appreciate your input!) Yes, there have been issues along the way, yes it took time to learn but wow...Mint Linux is so much better (faster, more stable, consistent interface with Cinnamon, supports more hardware, more secure etc.) than the MS alternative for me and many others have had great success with other distributions! Respectfully, to each their own. Now let's go make some money trading with all of these outstanding solutions! Linux Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-06-11 04:22:41
