Retard.

Go complain.
If the prof doesn't budge, go tell the department head.
If the assignment was strictly to submit in .docx and you failed to do so, you're out of luck.
>>51473304
You got a F 'cause you're a faggot.
You're own fault imo
Did she convert your shit successfully earlier in the semester? Did she ask for a certain file format? Why would you assume she can open anything beyond what your syllabus said was required?
>>51473304
If you could have send it in pdf, you are retarded.
If your teacher wanted you to send a .docx and you went full freetard anyway, both of you are retarded.

>tfw the botnet wants you to fail

This is exactly why the business world doesn't use anything except MS office.
You're gonna fuck up some hundred thousand dollar deal simply because you were too cheap to spring for office.
Sure it works 99% of the time, but that 1% can cost you a lot of money, is the savings really worth it ? Probably not for most businesses.
>>51473304
>sending a production document file rather than a pdf
Nigga, you deserved what you got.
Newer versions of office can open odf. What the fuck.
Use PDF you dipshit
docx or odf is like giving the source without the binary

He probably failed you because he is jealous that you use Linux and he uses normie botnet software, he should literally kill himself.
You are obviously the more educated one in this situation.
Anon, Libre Office can save as .doc and .docx. Moreover, your school likely provides computers with Word on them if you don't want to install Word on your own computer. Why then, would you turn in a format that can only be opened with Libre Office?

>>51474962
thank you anon,atleast someone has a level head here
Libreoffice gives the option to save as .docx or .doc. why on earth didn't you just change the file type? I use libreoffice for school ask the time and have never had a professor give me an issue. Only program that ever an issue was the Draw program.

Libre office is so clunky and shitty I stopped using it. I just switched to Google docs. Free and you can convert the file into whatever format you want

You literally just have to open the file in word and hit ok when it whines about "muh fonts" or whatever and it comes up, ready to be read and edited

>nobody uses rtf
This is the most compatible, still editable format in both Office suites. It's a shame that MS doesn't support odt properly though.
>>51482671
This, I had a professor email me asking me to give them a docx. odt opens in ever word version I've ever tried it. It adds extra spaces in between some words but I warned them so it's not a problem
>>51473678
faggot, the modern buisness world uses freeware, cuz it's cheaper. look at the city of munich they switched to openoffice a few years ago, thafs the future.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

You've obviously never worked freelance. You're expected to have industry standard software and submit files that are compatible with what your employer has.

I am freelancing and writing a program for my client this fucking instant. Interrupted to answer you.
If you find the software requirements of your client is a pain in the ass, you reject that and search for another. Granted if clients are scarce we'll probably have to make do with some WinXP shenanigans, but nothing VMs won't solve.
What I was trying to say was more on the line of how I had to swallow down some old ass laptop with WinXP and Visual Studio 2008 on my old job, when I can at home be working on a capable computer with a multi-monitor setup, decent mech keyboard on Win10 and Visual Studio 2015 for example.
