From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just hope to one day be able to install MS Office 2021 and use older software under Wine without having to spend days patching and installing stuff. Is it too much to ask? Apparently it is.
yes, it's, do you think Wine is easy?, the kernel needed fixes, and wine is gigantic, easier to just learn onlyoffice or libreoffice
No, I don't. The thing is that I see people always saying its all perfect and whatnot when in fact it isn't. Linux is great, way more stable than anything Microsoft ever did but desktop Linux isn't a viable option for people who need to collaborate with others and no amount of Wine and other fuckery will make it so.
Wine was always a hack, don't expect it to fix everything or last long, it don't have incentive to make office work on there(maybe if microsoft patch the wine, but it easier to just port office imo) that why i said that fixing this problem in wine is hard, i agree about the collaboration, but isn't a problem fixable from wine sadly, maybe office online? or google docs, or collabora? that why i said that there is better options that already work
Also, collaboration in docs it's a niche, because it work on online products, programming has git, so it don't need the same technology, the problem is exclusive to office, and only on the desktop application
