office365-pol VS ONLYOFFICE

Now they do office365-pol

Yes, I know of it. I currently use it from AUR. I use CrossOver specifically and only for Office 365 (that and support Wine development). I saw that Bottles does have a winecx build in their list of runners, but I haven't seen an Installer for Office yet, so while in theory I could use Bottles, I'm currently sticking with CrossOver for this specific usecase.

Or just give up and run Office 365 via CrossOver. There's apparently a way to get it working with PoL for free, but with my distro-hopping ways and the fact that I need to do it for work (instead of for fun) I have no patience for that. Plus, it feels good to donate for Wine/Proton development anyways and even better if I have an actual use for it.

For Office, the option currently is either use CrossOver (which is paid, though it can be cheaper with discounts) to install Office or to use a fairly lengthy process to follow the process CrossOver does manually. While I'm currently pinning my hope on Bottles Installer, for now WPS Office mostly works fine as long as you don't work with macros.

Had never even heard of it.

And their website doesn't help at all - https://www.onlyoffice.com/ - At first, I thought it is selling some kind of add-on for Businesses to use with Microsoft Office. Then I clicked "Get it now" and saw a page that gives me options to download a Docker Image, or Cloud Images or VM Images. What the heck? Then I see the "GET OnlyOffice" link in the navigation menu and go to it - the menu pop-up talks about DocSpace, Enterprise, Workspace etc. etc. and asks to sign-in for cloud. Again, what the heck?? Then I go to the PRODUCT link that also pop-ups lot of options - like - Doc editors to integrate into your business platform .... ??? Then I see the "Desktop and Mobile Apps" option in it and click 'For Desktop'. And finally, here I found what I had been searching for - Get free desktop office suite for document editing and collaboration ( https://www.onlyoffice.com/desktop.aspx ).

When a website is designed to be "Enterprisey" - only targetting and catering to a particular audience, and totally ignores everyone else - I am not surprised it's userbase is limited.

> @ONLYOFFICE, FYI to add bidi-directional support (LTR, RTL and mixed) in Web interface is as simple to add to element dir=auto.

> If I remember correctly, they are using canvas with custom rendering logic. Hence many native browser capabilities might not be available.

Oh, jeez, why? I want to install this just to point a screen reader at it and watch the havoc. Maybe they got that figured out but good lord...

Seems to have no updates since 3 years.

OnlyOffice (IMO) looks the closest like MS Office , is open source (AGPL) and handles the MS Office formats very well.

Damn close replacement - onlyoffice. https://www.onlyoffice.com/. Been using it as my excel replacement at work for over a year now. Highly recommend it.

Only Office has a web based version so every device with a browser could run it and is like MS Office

Try OnlyOffice— it’s the one that does the best job at handling MS formats in my experience.

https://www.onlyoffice.com/ and just link your outlook exchange to like thunderbird or something

او شوف برنامج مرة استعملته https://www.onlyoffice.com/

No you can't run office365 without Windows or MacOS on Linux. The closest 2 alternatives that I find pleasing to use is (onlyoffice)[https://www.onlyoffice.com] or libreoffice

Yes. OP should try ONLYOFFICE
