Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:

Something interesting that happened to you
Something humourous that happened to you
Something frustrating that happened to you
A quick question
A request for recommendations
Pictures of your pet
A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Woahh thanks a lot Dave! Very interesting thread, I'll try on my V14 first maybe also X240 later.

If you don't have another windows machine then I think it's a good idea to duel boot Windows initially. I've been running Linux as a daily driver the past couple of years but still occasionally do stuff in Windows. It's pretty rare these days, though!

Yup I was thinking to start familiarize myself with Linux as a daily driver. I still need Windows for some times, because of .xlsx files from work used a lot of formulas and VBA.

Macros are one reason for me as well. LibreOffice actually supports VBA! But only a subset, so YMMV.

If it's for work then probably also best to avoid converting back and forth between Word and LibreOffice as well.

I've been pretty happy with Linux though. I'm currently running the Gnome version of Nobara but have been through a few distros to get here. I ended up keeping my files on a separate partition to make it easy to install a new OS so I could test out a bunch.

None were perfect but I'm pretty happy with what I have now.
