electron-office VS winapps

An employee at Microsoft has actually experimented with wrapping Office 365 in Electron and also released packages for Linux.

An employee at Microsoft even did this in his spare time.: https://github.com/matvelloso/electron-office

For O365 there is this Electron wrapper. But not much else can be done and this is Microsoft's fault, not Linux's. We can't create a fully featured client for Microsoft just because Microsoft doesn't want to.

There’s also electron-office which works pretty well but I think there are some features missing in the online version of office so I haven’t used it much.

This one might be controversial, but Winapps for Linux, app that lets run apps from within a Windows KVM as if it were native on your Linux system (https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps)

Yes but you have to run visual studios in a windows virtual machine qemu/kvm/virtmanager Then pass virtual studio window to your desktop so it runs like it is native https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps optional Then use winapps to make a desktop and application launcher menu entry/icon

There's something called winapps which works over RDP, but you better have good specs so you get good performance. I recommend using parsec with a VM if you can passthrough a seperate GPU otherwise. https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps

The aim of this exercise was to test run WinApps (https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps).
