Using Mint/Libre for job apps, or other stuff for noobs

I used Ubuntu in the past, enjoyed it a lot except I found difficulty with using open office when applying for jobs because when going back to Windows /office it didn't seem to format correctly and looked quite bad. Open office was what it pre installed at the time but this was about 8 years ago I think?

Anyway now I'm using Mint and see that it has Libre, so how well would writing a resume with proper formatting and other such professional purposes be seen by various employers, presumably using Windows and MS Office predominately?

Also, any other recommendations for smooth operations? I'm quite novice but enjoying branching out.

Headset - Desktop Music Player Powered by YouTube And Reddit

Used this music player for a while now. HIGHLY recommended. It's Free, no ads and has LastFM scrobble. My favorite thing about it by far is the Reddit integration.

Is it better to use linux for web development?

Apologies if this is a wrong subreddit to ask but I've been thinking if I should use linux as my primary OS to develop websites or just stick to my Windows installation. Windows is currently usable but slow and barely handle multiple tasks. It takes several minutes to run nodejs apps and composer is incredibly slow. I've used linux before and the experience was great. But I use windows to do school related stuff and switching OS is a hassle for me. So is it better for me to use linux or just stick with windows?

Would you pay to have a feature implemented or a bug fixed?

The question is in the noscript.

Whether it's $5 or $5000 depends on you, but I'm trying to find out if you'd be willing to pay at all. Any project.

Performance difference between XFCE and Gnome Shell is Shocking

After using Gnome shell for a long time and after being tired of slow and unresponsive experience across the DE, i tried mate and xfce desktop and finally settled on xubuntu couple of months back.

The performance difference between these two DEs and Gnome Shell is huge. I just can't believe that one DE flies and other crawls using same specs, kernel and graphics stack. I feel bad for stock Ubuntu users, who got moved to it from unity and still using it. I think Gnome will never be same again. In the name of modernization, a major part of it has been destroyed.
