An ode to Flatpak (and Fedora Silverblue)
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.

Linux is a life changer
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.

What's your opinion on Linux for school use?
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.

Install GitHub release binaries from the CLI interactively
would be good if you added a comparison with https://github.com/zyedidia/eget on your repo

The culmination of several months of work by dozens of people, Flatpak 1.14.0 is now out!
There used to be a project called ginstall.sh that kept like, a manually maintained database of various projects with static binaries and how to install them. It still exists, but maintenance stopped because its model was also not sustainable. Its use case is better covered by tools like asdf, stew, and if you want to get even simpler, eget.

Asdf Performance
I'm a huge fan of asdf and have been using for years together with direnv! It's great to see how much effort is put into it! I hope more people adopt it so that we don't have to `curl | sh`! One thing I have issues with asdf is security as are no checksums, so, you if I project get compromised you'll get compromised, too. This, of course, is in addition to the third-party asdf plugin getting itself compromised (which is the greater risk). Last, but not least - I wish asdf came with something like eget [0] incorporated so that it can install 99% of the plugins directly and safely! Last, but not least - 99% of the plugins have almost identical code and all that changes is the repo, so, this should be generalized. For example, many years ago I made just one codebase of all HashiCorp plugins [1] and it's been working great!
