It can be run in wine, but you can't install it from the cc app and there's no hardware acceleration, so it's kind of a pig.

Honestly, if you're stuck with windows anyway, you're probably better off with linux in the VM or just using WSL.

    True, i was using w10 + wsl until this week. With my new pc i want to switch to linux full time as i did with my laptop. Photoshop and lightroom are the only apps i have issues with atm ( office will follow... ) and dont want to go back to windows full time for them alone. Hence the dual boot in case i need them :p

    I find Google docs to be sufficient for most office, But I don't go too far into the weeds and Excel, It would probably be pretty easy have use cases where Google wouldn't cut it for you.

    The free open source office alternatives are serviceable, you could get your work done on them but they're disappointing in some tasks.

    The new Outlook app is indistinguishable from their electron app. They both suck but they're equal.

    But I provision hardware for my job so I have windows boxes sitting around if I need them.
