          Don't knock the utility of Word 2003 and it's perpetual license vs. Office 365's subscription model.

                  LO Writer is cool once you get used to the ugly interface. But did you know that there's a free version of Word online? You just need a Hotmail/Live/Outlook account. Have you tried that? It works like Google Docs but without an offline mode.

                    I know I have a billion complaints but when I used it, it would lag and glitch up where I would type faster than it could keep up and I would get word jumbled. I think next time I need it though Ill use that over libre though 😅😅

            Another example: Samsung Galaxy S5 was waterproof and had an easily user-replaceable battery (back cover designed to be removed). Galaxy S6 was neither waterproof nor had a user replaceable battery.

        Yeah my desktop is still fine after 6 years. Only upgrade i got was a free 8 gb of ram from a friend who built a new pc. I've also gotten SSDs as I've upgraded OS's. My coworkers don't understand why I haven't built a new computer yet but the fact is I haven't ran into anything that it can't handle comfortably yet, so why bother.

        With laptops we still are at that point, partially due to horrible software. Battery life is still really bad on laptops, and it keeps getting better as tech improves. It would already probably be adequate if it was not for the fact that nearly all software is horrible, and literally every PC operating system is deeply flawed and horrible on laptops.

            Linux is terrible if you aren't super into software. I use computers way way more than most people because they are extremely useful tools for my work and several of my hobbies, and I despise how often stuff breaks in Linux. Some of the more bloated distributions aren't as bad in this respect, but they have issues on laptops because of the bloat.

              I already have a desk top pc that I use for gaming and stuff and just need a laptop that can handle internet and word processing. How is Linux for the simple things?

                It depends on how simple. If all you wanna do is watch videos, type stuff up, and do email stuff, it's easy. But if you wanna do something still simple but slightly less so, like plug in two microphones at once, or install a free lightweight game, or record your screen and then edit what you recorded to show someone how to do something, or edit audio beyond what is easy in Audacity, etc, it becomes annoying and complicated and nothing works without hacks and workarounds for every step of the process.
