I agree (but understand that debian is free as in freedom) I had problems with open office on Debian not opening docx files, where as my 2nd computer this worked fine as it had ubuntu. as a result I ended up switching when job application forms or are in docx, and you can't open you are stuck, between being productive and siding with an ethos you want to follow as much as possible. OK this was a good few years ago but does highlight another down side to a system that to be free, stable etc means you have to make sacrifices. Maybe there IS a way to provide more up to date software. even if this is for the sake of security. Paul |
