But I enjoy fucking around with Linux

I try, I do often use rdp on work computer (windows 11) to access private computer pc (Linux)

LinOffice looks promising, thanks!

Me too!

Plenty of memory, CPU I think is still pretty good.

No never heard of before, but everyone here is suggesting it so I will check that out. Thanks

What I’ve heard is it’s mainly very single core CPU heavy, GPU not very relevant. Thanks I’m going to look into Winboat for sure, being suggested a lot here

I will look into Winboat, thanks

Bingo on the used as database ;) It’s very hard to move them away from that, I have insufficient impact on that

No, I need to work in excel so much it wouldn’t make much difference

No web version doesn’t cut it. Thanks for the tip, I’ll look into that Winboat

“trick some of them accidentally” is definitely underestimating average users. In my experience 95% + of all users click consent once, all is stored forever and they’ll never see the banner again, for sure not on the same device. They don’t do adblocking, no automatic cookie deleting, in fact no browser extensions at all. The average fediverse user is a weird mix of a 1990’s internet poweruser with a today tech kid trying to make it into the future technologies on their own terms and by faaaar not an average user visiting average website on average devices with average browsers and configurations. In short: most people don’t experience this ‘problem’ like us, because they consent by default to anything you throw at them and are then in the gated tracking paradise where there’s barely any cookienagging, visiting the same handful of websites all the time anyway.
