After converting all my traditional Linux computers to Flatpak and using this setup for over a year now, I wanted to write a little ode to Flatpak. A brief introduction about me: I am a long-term (10+ years) Linux user that distro hopped quite a while and eventually settled on Ubuntu (vanilla GNOME installed via mini.iso) and now Fedora Silverblue.

Therefore I would also recommend Bottles. It is amazing and I have started using it for another project myself. It even has a CLI that you can use in bash scripts.

  [OUTDATED] A PlayOnLinux script that utilizes the version of Wine made for CrossOver to run Microsoft 365 Apps / Office 365 without requiring any paid CrossOver components

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.
