MangoKangaroo, to operating_systems in German state gov. ditching Windows for Linux, 30K workers migrating

I’m specifically interested in seeing how the transition from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice goes. My boss has been pondering the possibility of migrating us from Word and Excel to Writer and Calc. My concern, as someone who exclusively uses LibreOffice at home, is those edge-cases where another entity sends us a document that has some weird behavior that might not be properly replicated in LibreOffice. I don’t know much about the German government’s typical document practices, but I think this will be a good case study on the viability of LibreOffice in a more serious production environment.

MangoKangaroo, to operating_systems in How do you recall your most used commands?

I didn’t even know about arrowing up for partially-entered commands; I’ve just been relying on the first autocomplete that pops up. Thanks for that!

I usually lean on fish autocomplete to remember things for me. Should I write stuff down? Yes. But I’m lazy, so this method is okay. Until I’m on a different machine and end up completely lost.
