  • Depends on the task. It is much better for ml, ai, scientific computing and high performance computing in general, developers...

    But I use libreoffice only for cover letters and cvs.

    If excel is needed, Linux is a problem

  • I don't care of the cost, people who push it do. They waste money in a million of way in consultants and tools and servers and concepts and process architecture and PI and stuff I have no idea. I am sure some mckinsey, KPMG, accenture, Gartner, ibm consultant knows why everything useless is so expensive. I usually don't care. 9/10 of the money spent by my company is wasted, but somehow they manages to do profit. As every corporations. Which is fine. We have been doing cost cutting for few years now, still the amount of money wasted is crazy

  • In my company they paid a lot of money for it, like too much. Simply very few people like it. Mainly paper work people with zero technical skills (those who prints documents to sign, stamp, and rescan them).

    Because they paid so much for it, they always try to convince people to use it... Currently we are using it as a glorified s3 bucket for PowerPoint presentations to link them on confluence... But there is always someone who tries from time to time to push it, before it miserably fails again.

    That's my experience. I am sure someone finds it very useful.

  • You don't need to reimplement SharePoint, just to use different processes and tools.

    That said, if you are happy, that's absolutely fine. I luckily don't use it. It's there, someone try to put there some document because "we paid millions for it" (I don't know if they really did...), after a few frustrating loop of the crappy check in/check out broken system most people give up. I don't even need to complain. It's sufficient to wait a couple of weeks and someone else will, no one will find any benefit, and at the end it will be completely dropped again. Until someone remember how much we paid for it, and will try again.

    I call it "the cycle of corporate hype"

  • I would say that that's is what you want. We don't have a survey on user intentions.

    I for instance would like to block furry instances, as an example, but I have nothing against their users. I don't care if someone is into furry, I simply don't want to see it myself

  • SharePoint concept and implementation is awful though. Better have different tools for the different tasks and track different types of artifacts and documents, than using SharePoint. And everything else in normal file system.

    SharePoint is the typical mammoth that does everything and it does each thing extremely badly. But it's Microsoft, so all companies must use it

  • Serious answer. You are getting it. Who decided to set up your processes and system doesn't do daily business neither understand of computer.

    I am sorry. Best option for you is to search a place better managed. Alternatively accept the loss of productivity. And go on. All your company is going to be less productive anyway.

  • It is not a conspiracy though. Planned obsolescence is a well known real thing. There is a reason unix computers last on average longer than windows computers, and Linux is the stereotypical OS for old pcs.

    If people are downvoting for this, they should learn how computers and operating systems work

  • Only Microsoft can run decently windows in a decently big data centers. Because they can tweak it, as they do for Xbox os as well. For everyone else scaling windows server VMs or containers is a pain, because windows is a bad, poorly optimized, resources-hungry OS developed with main goal to make hardware obsolete every 3-5 years.

    I don't know what nvidia is doing, but when I use it at my friends' places, lags are painful.

    Linux was the right call in theory, in practice gaming industry is pretty broken on the PC side with its lock on windows, as we see on every new AAA port... Let's hope valve can save it, but I doubt.
