The major problem with replacing Office is the file formats used by Word, Excel, etc. I highly doubt these applications handle them.
Re:Show HN: Quake ported to safe Rust, playable in browser on Friday October 09, 2026 @08:38AM (#50019633)
Quake ran reasonably well on a 486DX100; what’s the interesting part here? We already know LLMs can handle porting, and it seems to have become a trend among attention-seekers to convert just about anything to Rust.

The "social component" is a big problem in actual FOSS.
I find it hard to believe that people used to WordPress, with its flaws and virtues(yes, wordpress have virtues), will switch to this, no matter how much it's from Cloudflare.
The successor to WordPress will wear out the F5 key

Re:Xfwl4 – The Roadmap for a Xfce Wayland Compositor on Tuesday January 27, 2026 @11:32AM (#46782249)
Systemd was easy for me. All things worked in transition and have the big advantage that don't need shell scripts for create services. Wayland..., is slow, buggy, applications close without reason...
Re:Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team on Wednesday January 07, 2026 @02:16PM (#46531098)
My surprise is that the tailwind creator could have a engineering team based in a css framework that basically was used for people that didn't knew real css. Is normal that this people now use other products more effective how AI for this task.

If you don't want learn ffmpeg syntax, is better use a visual gui how handbrake that a frontend for a fatty LLM.
Re:Redis is open source again on Thursday May 01, 2025 @01:37PM (#43860851)
I can understand problems with SSPL license, but i cannot understand the problems with AGPL. If you use software for your SAAS service for free, and made changes in it, you should share the changes with others. Is free software, not a gift for your business.
Re:Ferron – a fast, memory-safe web server written in Rust on Saturday April 05, 2025 @03:52AM (#43591743)
What?, apache have mpm_event since many years ago, you don't need prefork process model except if you want use mod_php or something not thread safe.
This website froze my phone, not joking.
In 2005, i compiled linux kernel in 15 minutes on AMD Duron 700. Is true that was a very optimized kernel for my architecture, but i think that the typical kernel with all modules could get 1 hour or something.

Oh, with Linux you can play old games(and indie games) and comfort you thinking that linux is the best platform for a gamer and 2015 is not old in the videogame world, meanwhile, your friends play Horizon Zero Dawn in PS4 or last FIFA 18 in Windows 10.

Really do you think that a gamer will change windows 10 for linux for play ancient games and cannot play the last AAA games?.

Finally, i have games how L4D2 in Linux, but if i want to play games how GTA or Asssasins Creed i need windows.

Re:The rise and fall of Limux on Thursday November 09, 2017 @05:42PM (#15666393)
I use linux everyday, practically only play football manager,but in steam practically doesn't exists AAA games. Mad Max from 2015?. No fifa, no call of duty, no last AAA games. It's the reality.
Re:The rise and fall of Limux on Thursday November 09, 2017 @03:42PM (#15665717)
The problem are videogames and MS Office. Nobody change OS if use it.

Re:What Killed the Linux Desktop (2012) on Sunday February 05, 2017 @08:14PM (#13575818)
The linux desktop was killed for desktop developers. We haved good desktops with gnome 2 and kde 3, only needed evolution (kde 4 is true that was evolution,but plasma 5 is a buggy horrible slow thing), and nerds decided that the cool thing was transparencies or twisted cubes, then came KDE4 with unstable first versions, Gnome 3 with many icons triyng look how a mac, and unity.

I was KDE user but with Plasma 5, the kde people spit again to users with a new buggy version that broke all things as with kde4.

I use MATE now, and i'm happy. Simples menus, file browser, no problems with graphic card because incompatible drivers with desktop...
