If I may ask, have you tried MS Office on your Endeavour OS box, and if so, what version and what were your results? Seriously, if you have a minute, I’d really appreciate hearing your specific experiences with MSOffice if you’ve tried it on Endeavour.
I inquire only because MSOffice is the only reason I wasn’t on Linux years ago, and any distro that can run MSOffice out of the box, macros included, I will install today. Not exaggerating: I have been trying out various distros for the last month, and MSOffice is literally the sole dealbreaker. I even have an Endeavour Cassini Nova LiveUSB ready to go; I’m on Zorin 16.3 Core right now for the same reason.
Let me know if you can, and thanks in advance.
I Don’t use MS Office, unfortunately. You are going to have a lot of people say just try LibreOffice, but that does not work for everyone so I understand the hesitation.
Yeah, I’ve tried and still am trying, lol. I’m still going to move the rest of my stuff to Linux, regardless, but I need one box with an operable copy of MSOffice at least for now.
I’ll definitely keep EndeavourOS on my list of distros to try, especially because it has all the resources of Arch behind it. That’s a huge plus on its own. Thank you for taking the time to reply!
Right on and no problem!
Libre office aint bad. If you want something like office365 check out nextcloud office.
Have you tried using OnlyOffice? It’s pretty much a 1:1 recreation of Microsoft Office, there’s a flatpak build. It’s scripts are made in Javascript but it seems simple enough to convert a VBA script.
No, I have not. I actually thought you were talking about OpenOffice but looked it up to be sure, and no, I’ve never heard of OnlyOffice. I will definitely give it a shot. And thank you for the VBA conversion plugin as well, that will be awesome if it works for me. Much appreciated.
