You’re just jealous.

Just have your friend sit on the side of the bucket to stabilise it.

There was an amusing short story about a guy who could do actual math in his head (I think it was by Asimov).

Edit: found it, it’s “The Feeling Of Power” by Asimov.

Oh, right, I hadn’t even noticed.

I never remember which one is Bert.

Sounds great when you want to tan your hamster.

What a strange idea.

I was already running linux then, but I booted windows to run games and got to experience its laughable “multitasking” and poor networking stack. It really wasn’t great, but it worked, I suppose.

That’s highly dependent on how many, or which, languages you download, I think.

Only office is designed for people who work with MS files. Libre Office is for people who work with open files.

I stopped at MS Word 2.0, when the Microsoft people agreed with me that it was pretty much broken for large files, and pointed me to an FTP site where there was a new version… which also was broken. Long story short, that’s when I first installed Linux and ran LaTeX and Applixware.

It can edit files now? Apparently it can. It took a while but it’s finally there. Finally. Good job.

It really depends on what you will use it for. Using it for plain text doesn’t require much, some advanced layouts require a bit more digging, if you’re including fancy graphics, equations, bibliography, footnotes, etc, you’re going to look at managing the relevant libraries to gandle that (they are very well made and very convenient). All in all, it can be as complex as you want, but it can also be quite easy to use.
Also LaTeX is way simpler than plain TeX.

But… Why?

I regret to inform you that in the absence of a pupil I won’t be able to consider your attempt at an eye shaped building seriously.

They can also access Excel spreadsheets from what I’ve heard. Hopefully the children aren’t aware of the fact.

Look at those poor people, they only had one chair for two. So sad. Couldn’t even spare a cushion for the third lady.

And not just any sand.

I find linux to usually be logical. In windows everything appears to be completely random.
It has a lot to do with familiarity, but design choices also play a part.

What you’re used to is easy, what you don’t know is hard. People are creatures of habit and don’t like change.
Nothing new here.
