beer can be free, but there's no such thing as "freedom" or "liberty" those are bourgeois concepts that don't actually make sense

Netflix offers native Linux support when using Google Chrome. I don't have to trick Netflix into thinking I'm using Windows or Mac, nor do I need to play 'whack-a-mole" regarding that. My Grandpa (he's 97) now uses Linux, as does my mother (she's 58), as does my nieces (15, 12, 6) and of course that means my sister and her husband (31, 35). And they're not alone. Linux plays games (Steam) and can open any Microsoft Office document, including Apple documents too. Hardware support is just as competitive... Long gone are the days when I needed to hunt for a driver. So like it or not, there is a new game in town. A lot of people I know left Windows when Windows Vista came out. Even more left after the release of Windows 8 / 8.1. And with Windows 10 all but requiring a Microsoft Account to benefit almost anything it offers, plus the the complete layout change again..... Linux is what I've been installing on people's NEW and OLD PC's. Usually Debian flavored (Debian / Ubuntu / Mint), but OpenSuSe is also something that I'm finding people wanting. Like it or not... Linux is gaining ground. The last time someone needed help with Windows was December 2014.

I've seen macro OpenXML files normally with the odd .xlsm extension that Google Docs seems to completely hate. I guess it is classic Microsoft coming up with all theses different retarded file types.
