Would be great if the web app had the same features as the desktop app

I tried to download Microsoft Office on Linux Mint and I couldn’t even download the exe (to run through wine), I needed to go to Windows to download it … now I just need to make it work (I am in the 1% of people who actually need official Excel)

Ugh, webapps are obnoxious as hell to me. Give me a thick client any day. Biggest irritation for most for me is the loss of keyboard control

I prefer the desktop app, but things like powerquery won’t work to its fullest online

LibreOffice is decent. Have you tried it yet? Anything major it can’t do for you?

It has been a bit since I tried it, but things like not having the buttons in the same place is annoying when teacher others. PowerQuery and Microsoft Scripts (what replaced VBA) are some things will probably be missing

I wonder if MAS can work through Mint, even if just to download the installer?
Might try it later.

I tried a couple versions of Excel, but I was unable to get it to work sadly.

This might be the right case to use a VM. Though, I just keep a spare SSD with Windows.
