    If you are not talking about the past, present and future of Hannah Montana Linux I'm not even talking to you.

    s/librebooted/canoebooted/

    it's honestly quite strange. The Libreboot term has been known for years to refer to the fully free bios project. Then they merged osboot and Libreboot so now libreboot contains proprietary blobs. Then they decided to make a new project canoeboot, which is basically the new libreboot.

    so they went from having:

    • osboot
    • libreboot

    to having:

    • canoeboot
    • libreboot

    All they seemed to have done is confuse.

    Man, I wish there were more people around me who cared about discussing Linux and open source software. Only one person I know actually understands it, but he’s still running windows for games and programming.

    Nah, that way, I can be the Alpha-Nerd in my circle, getting all the clout when I help them out with a command-line-command that contains awk.

    Hardened gentoo was great when grsecurity had their kernel patches opened freely to the public, but now idk. I'm more into hardenedbsd than anything gentoo nowadays.

    honestly open source software is important.

    I am a Microsoft user (sorry) but don't think my company will allow use of other programs due to software policy.

    Is there an open soursce excel and powerbi / powerpoint thing ?

    LibreOffice Calc is pretty good. Your company can invest in a fork and it should do what you need.

    Power BI is a different kind of beast though. Soon only available as part of Microsoft Fabric, a SaaS analysis platform. Sure, the technically inclined can use Python/R/Julia with MongoDB, a set of SQL DBs, some CI and Plotly/Dash, but that effectively requires to have some Software- and Data Engineers on staff and some dedicated machines/VMs. Power BI / Fabric is much cheaper for small to medium sized companies outside of IT.
