From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"There's a school in Wisconsin that is so underfunded that they only have very old computers and the person running it barely knows hat's a computer and thus won't ever create a budget or approve new systems. Furthermore this school is so irrelevant they aren't even able to qualify for free software from Microsoft. A bored teacher saved the day and made the old computers somewhat useful by installing Linux on his spare time. Of course all of this doesn't come for free, the current generation of students never used a computer at home, just mobile devices, and are being robbed of learning a valuable and required skill for any future job - basic Windows and Office usage."
There, article fixed for you.
Not everybody is a data-entry drone. I have no use for it, and I have a technical career.
Your manager, that most likely started his career as a tech person as most tech manager do, likely uses Office a lot and he certainly isn't a data-entry drone. One day as you progress in your career you'll too.
PS: whoever doesn't understand this comment and downvote right away should really think about their life. If one doesn't understand that a manager does need to be proficient in MS Office then you'll never get there / have a very hard time.
Useless manager detected
