Comment on A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions

  You can’t possibly have every feature on a keyboard shortcut, even just all those various formatting features in Word for example where you often have to choose something from a list of options. And even if you somehow did manage to have a shortcut for everything, you’d still only remember those you use frequently enough.

  Not to mention, I’m pretty sure most of those shortcuts from 2003 still work today.

    Okay, let me rephrase my initial criticism:

    • let have whoever would like to have three rows of ribbon icons whose description is only visible as a mouse-over hint
    • fuck Microsoft for forcefully removing the regular office drop-down menus

    The second part in this process was completely unnecessary and made office a worthless pile of bloatware.
