    Actually Office on Wine is in a pretty usable state so maybe you could give it a try. What does not work (or didn’t work the last time I tried, like 2 years ago), was the connection to OneDrive and stuff. So you couldn’t work collaboratively.

    But otherwise everything worked just fine, just as it did on Windows. One more caveat though, VBA is not available in Excel, in case you need that.



  • yes, no problem at all. as long as you’re careful about partitioning when you’re installing the second distro (it should be able to do that automatically, if not, you’ll need to identify the EFI partition manually) it won’t be a problem. you can afterwards just remove the distro you no longer want. after that, you just gotta update grub so it can remove the no longer existant from it’s os table and you’re good to go again.




  • it’s incredible how it went down. apple also did steps into this direction, but way slower and smaller steps at least (am still mainly a macos user). i still use windows 10 ltsc enterprise when i need it, and i am extremely happy with it. if microsoft would take this version, and try to build from there and, finally, actually improve the core operating system instead of adding some bells and whistles where no one wants it, i would probably even use it more (although probably never as a main driver). but seeing the direction windows is headed towards, i will probably use win 10 ltsc until it’s support ends (which is in about 5 years), and then say goodbye for ever, hopefully.
