I’ve recently switched to Linux (Debian Bookworm) because I was tired of all the bullshits I had to deal with when using Windows, especially when developing software.

Now I really have to use MS Office applications for my school. Libreoffice is good but not completely compatible with MSOffice, like I can’t use the log graph in the template provided. And their web apps are nearly unusable (especially with Firefox and its variants) , so I need desktop versions.

I can use VM maybe but I don’t want to pay for the Windows license.

How do you guys manage to open MS files appropriately?

Edit: 2024/12/26 I ended up using Windows inside KVM. It worked without license, and office seems to work fine

    Didn’t knew that ! :/ I’m sure that wasn’t the case in the past (It was only called KMS at the time).

    This is also why it still up and running on GitHub?

    Edit: After a quick research I couldn’t find any info, do you have any reputable link to back your claims?

    Edit2:

    Where can I donate? MAS project doesn’t accept donations and it’s free. It’s because it’s a community project and involves many contributors, splitting donations is not practical, and also because profiting from piracy is not good.
