He gets out of Windows! πŸ˜€πŸ‘

Board Room Meeting meme with the boss asking, "Windows is awful and keeps getting worse!  What should we do?"  The office workers reply with, "Whine", "Complain", and the one who suggests, "Switch to Linux" gets thrown out the window while yelling, "I use Arch BTW!" on the way down.

"I can't switch, there's this one function of this one programme that I may need in the next 50 years."

    There's a Linux app for that but the buttons are in different places

    Excel tables.

    No Linux/OSS app can do this (and will likely never). Open Office devs have outright declared they won't.

    Or the automated process that export/import data via excel.

    Let's see you rebuild all those things, without man hours or errors. Costly errors.

    Whenever someone gets on a "just switch" campaign (whether it's something like Linux or Metric), I know they've never had to work on a migration project and seen the challenges, difficulties, and risk.

    I use Linux for servers, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna spend time converting my workstation - there's zero value in it for me when I have decades of tools and process. The value proposition just isn't there.

    Don't go taking down a fence until you fully understand what it's for.

    I:

    A) Try Wine. No? Ok..

    B) Hello windows using friend or relative, can I borrow your PC for 30 min? No? Ok..

    C) Hey work IT man, so, I know this is dumb but I need to run a program called pkhex. Yeah it's a hex editor specifically for pokemon hex files. Yeah I can get you anything on your cart. I can get you a legit Mew, even change your OT name from whatever you thought was cool in 1998. Ok so I need admin to download that real fast because I run Fedora, you bring your cart tomorrow and we can do this on lunch.

    Typically option B is enough lol.

    β€œI need quickbooks.” Use the web version. β€œYea but that one sucks.” They all suck. Use something else. β€œThere is nothing else. My account says quickbooks is all there is.” He’s wrong. β€œWell what am I supposed to do? People with money use quick books.” No, people spend money to use quickbooks. You have an accountant. He can use quick books. You can use whatever you want. -continues to bitch about expensive things he hates, dismisses anything free as hippy crap-
