So i’m currently managing a small store and running MX Linux as main OS on all desktops, because i want to spread Debian words in my city, but people are often regretting on using my desktops for my system.

Any tips for making them less fearful on using Linux, i’m about half year running MX as my main OS, so my experience is not as a totally beginner, much less as a sysadmin.

Any help would gratefully appreciated.

    For example, they easily work on Microsoft Word, but when facing LibreOffice Writer they get estressed really fast, even after i’ve turned it’s UI most “user friendly”.

    If Word processing is a big problem and something crucial to your business, I would probably try piloting a demo version of Office 365 and see if that jumps you over the hurdle.

    Many years ago, I used Star Office in an office setting and I realize how frustrating it can be when you are trying to produce a professional doc and you don’t know how to change a style, etc.

    There’s some type of package which i would install to turn xfce most Windows-like?

    If you do not mind looking through the !unixporn@lemmy.ml community, there are several windows style desktops, some more complicated than others. I think one used a Windows theme on XFCE like you have.

    I hope some others have some good ideas with this, because I know they are out there.

      i have already give a look at UnixPorn before, i was a little afraid trying something like those desktops, but you’re right, i’m gonna try some of them
