I made this post because I am really curious if Linux is used in offices and educational centres like schools.

While we all know Windows is the mac-daddy in the business space, are there any businesses you know or workplaces that actually Linux as a business replacement for Windows?

I.e. Mint or Ubuntu, I am not strictly talking about the server side of things.

    Yes its the same document. The only thing I did is “open a copy” because the document was locked in the other editor.

    If you just copy paste something it’s not the same. If you want to make a true comparison you have open the same file in both.

    People share unfinished documents with each other and formatting should hold, otherwise how can you collaborate?

    And I was talking about finished documents.

      There was no copy past here. If you have a docx open in MS Word and try to open it again with LibreOffice you’ll get this message:

      I just clicked the default “Open Copy” option. The result is what you saw.
