How do I install Microsoft Office on Linux?

Anonymous

Earlier this year I bought a subscription to Microsoft 365.

Recently, I switched to Linux Mint due to incessant buggy Windows updates (e.g. "Oops, your hard drive is using the wrong filesystem") and Microsoft forcing me to use the new Chromium Edge browser (which IMO is a horrible browser, only minimally better than the old version).

When I went to download MS Office, there was no link to download it. Instead, it redirected me to the (almost unusably buggy) online version.

How do I go about installing it on my computer?

    Hello The

    There is no native install of Office on Linux, The only way to make that work would be to use one of the methods described in the following article

    How to Install Microsoft Office on Linux

    https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/install-use-micro...

    Any additional questions related to how to make Office work in a Linux environment would need to be asked in applicable Linux forums. Linux is not a supported O/S for Office and not likely that any Linux users would frequent these forums
