        And… I can’t afford to have documents screwed up because Libre/Open/OnlyOffice aren’t the real deal… and I need to use MS Teams, Excel, Project and have data flowing between each other and Dynamics Nav. All those things Linux native Office solutions can’t do, nor Office Online and certainly not Wine.

          Ahh tracking. I’ve never seen a work flow that used data flowing well between MS products. I’ve never had an incompatibility issue yet either, but I believe it, certainly on excel, that program can be a beast.

            Here is how Office 2019 (not even the latest) performs on Wine out of the box:

            Very helpful. What’s that fucked up char anyways? :D

            Once I managed to get 2019 running however it was slow and glitchy. There was some flickering on the UI and moving objects on Word was mostly impossible.

              Oh no I meant just using libreoffice. I don’t even want to MS Office on windows, trying to get to work on wine seems like a nightmare.

                As you already know, I can’t. I’ve used Libre and OnlyOffice for personal stuff and they’re able to get the job done. Few details that are different but for what’s worth I’ll even say that for some tasks both of them even have easier workflows than MS Office. They kinda remind of the Office 2003 days when MS Office had the UI actualize optimized for speed and productivity not to flash around. Unfortunately for work I can’t just do it.
