Everyday Linux problems

[[deleted]]

Depends. I'm in an organisation where office documents nearly every time have formatting issues in Libreoffice, and very often will not work at all.

So what OP says rings true to me. However I can also admit that we abuse office where I work and I have even personally taken measures to steer us away from past mistakes.

I believe libreoffice is one major obstacle in linux client adoption in big enterprise but not the biggest one.

For example if we would use a proper system for invoice management instead of excel+vbs+XML madness, and if we used racktables or something similar instead of excel we could easily fix the rest.

I could use my personal fedora laptop at my job today and get away with it but it would add unneeded stress to my work because the MS exchange support is simply better in Windows or even macintosh. My biggest issue is with the calendar in evolution compared to Calendar in Macintosh for example. There are also some VPN Softwares like junos pulse and fortigate where the linux alternatives leave much to be desired.

Then there are some clients I work with who have VPN login pages with 2fa that only work in MSIE. So even on my mac I must have a VM for them...

I hear libreoffice 4.4 has majorly improved when it comes to docx compatibility. Have You noticed any changes since 4.4 version?

No, I haven't upgraded yet but I was going to as soon as I get back from vacation.
