Step by step guide: How to install Microsoft Office in any Linux distribution

There are multiple options how to install MS Office on Linux.

VM-based - Integrate Windows apps running in a Windows virtual machine as native-looking in Linux

1. LinOffice - Microsoft Office Launcher for Linux, my own fork of Winapps which is focused on only running Microsoft Office, with some Office-specific improvements over Winapps and a fully automated setup. Eventually I would like to create a GUI for it. Decribed below
2. Winapps, based on KVM, QEMU, Docker/Podman and FreeRDP. Still actively maintained (getting Github commits). Decribed below
3. Cassowary, based on KVM, QEMU, libvirt/virt-manager, and FreeRDP. Last release in Feb 2022 and seems to be abandoned.

Here is the best setup (I think so :D) for Keychron + Linux

Make Fn + F-keys work

Keychron Keyboards on Linux use the hid_apple driver (even in Windows/Android mode), both in Bluetooth and Wired modes. By default, this driver uses the F-keys as multimedia shortcuts and you have to press Fn + the key to get the usual F1 through F12 keys.

In order to change this, you need to change the fnmode parameter for the hid_apple kernel module. Here's some documentation on it, but a quick summary can be found below:

# IMPORTANT: Don't forget to logout from your Apple ID in the settings before running it!
# IMPORTANT: You will need to disable SIP: Reboot to Recovery, in Terminal csrutil disable

# WARNING: It might disable things that you may not like. Please double check the services in the TODISABLE vars.

# Get active services: launchctl list | grep -v "\-\t0"
# Find a service: grep -lR [service] /System/Library/Launch* /Library/Launch* ~/Library/LaunchAgents
# List disabled services: launchctl print-disabled user/501 |grep true & launchctl print-disabled system |grep true

Backup android app, data included, no root needed, with adb

Note: This gist may be outdated, thanks to all contributors in comments.

adb is the Android CLI tool with which you can interact with your android device, from your PC

You must enable developer mode (tap 7 times on the build version in parameters) and install adb on your PC.

Don't hesitate to read comments, there is useful tips, thanks guys for this !

Signing VirtualBox Kernel Modules

These are the steps I followed enable VirtualBox on my laptop without disabling UEFI Secure Boot. They're nearly identical to the process described on [Øyvind Stegard's blog][blog], save for a few key details. The images here are borrowed from the [Systemtap UEFI Secure Boot Wiki][systemtap].

1. Install the VirtualBox package (this might be different for your platform).
