#Academia #AcademicChatter

The #EndOf10 is coming in a few months and I don't have the budget to buy a new machine. I'm leaning toward PopOS instead of Win11. I've used and administered #Linux for more than 20 years, so I'm comfortable.

My biggest hang up is that 100% of academic colleagues use Word. Any others have an idea how well OpenOffice works to edit and save Word files now? If it isn't pretty high fidelity, I might have to run a Win10 VM just for Word.

@thatdnaguy Libreoffice works well 95% of times. Only issues I get is when filling in over-engineered forms (admin love those!) with fields, check boxes etc, in which case I fall back to Word online.
