    @Kedde520 ok project and Visio... I can forgive you for those, I think I’ve used every alternative known to the internet and still can’t find a decent alternate.

    But they don’t count as office 😎
    Have you tried under wine?

    @C0D4 yea you're right. Not yet, considered play on Linux and crossover. Just wanted to hear peoples experiences before playing around with it.

    I installed Office 2013 with wine and it worked (didn't use Project, though).

    But you cannot activate it, as the activation needs some more modules that are not availbale, so it won't work long.

    The only way would be a VM running windows just for using Office.

    So only LibreOffice

    @devTea it’s not part of O365, but you can purchase the cloud version of project seperate for $7/month USD it $30/month USD if you want the desktop application as well.

    Otherwise it’s a 1 off payment of $560.

    wine + .net + kmspico has worked for me before, but it's been a hassle and I've just ran it in a VM since '17 - not sure about Project tho
