User retraining (imagine retraining 10,000 employees, and then the lost productivity you’d still have). Oh, and this assumes which shell, which distro?
Excel, with tables.
The thousands (millions?) of automated processes that export/import from Excel, and have done so for years.
CNC systems that will only run on older versions of Windows, and for which the company no longer exists and there’s no reolacement. I once worked with CNC machines with controllers that ran on paper tape. They’re probably still running today.
Ooh, here’s one - battery management on a laptop, that’s only adjustible from a command prompt in Linux.
That was the entire reason I started messing with Linux in 2011, but once I finally got full root privileges, Linux still denied me write privileges to the battery controller.
It wasn’t all software, at least not back then. Turns out, after looking up the specs on the battery management chip, it required a proprietary physical adapter to enable write access. ☹️
So, if battery management is now feasible under Linux, what magical software are people using now?
