Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Hasn't Office worked under Wine since forever?

    (And if not, what are the show stoppers?)

    Newest versions don't work very well. The only over that worked consistently got me read 2010.

    I think part of the issue is that it's quite integrated with the system and that makes it harder. Crossover lists 2013 as working, but 2021 as not even installing

    2010 is out of support

    Also if you are talking about a business they are never going to use Wine. A Windows VM maybe but not wine.

    Being OOS doesn't change that they read the last one that worked consistently for me. I'm not recommending to use it, just stating my experience.

    Not sure were the business comment comes from.
