The main thing holding linux back is a lack of federal contracts.
Until schools are issuing Linux machines to staff and students. Until military outposts are run on Linux servers. Until your average federal employee is being issued a Linux machine, Linux will always be 3rd place.
I mean, LibreOffice is usable, but if I could pay for a linux license of Word or Excel, I would pay for it. The UX is just so much better with feature search/animations/plugin support/etc.

But yeah, u right
No it’s because of lobbying. Other countries use LibreOffice.

I figured they just meant that people in government jobs don’t like change.
No MS office, no sale!
