Step by step guide: How to install Microsoft Office 2016 in any Linux distribution

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

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

1. Winapps, based on KVM, QEMU, Virt-Manager, and FreeRDP. Still actively maintained (getting Github commits).
2. Cassowary, based on KVM, QEMU, Virt-Manager, and FreeRDP. Has a helpful GUI and apparently can auto-suspend the VM when no Windows app is in use. Last release in Feb 2022 and seems to be abandoned.

The VM-based options means can run Office 2021 or Office 365 including all apps, but for me it was quite buggy and when I encounterd some (FreeRDP-related?) bug in both Winapps and Cassowary that meant I could only start Excel with an external screen plugged in, I gave up. bug

Things are awkward in the apt world while apt-key is deprecated and things like Launchpad and general PPA usage are in flux.

This snippet attempts to replicate add-apt-repository functionality for sanity, probably quite badly. There's no error checking or anything advanced, but at least the script is easy to understand.

Syntax: [sudo] addaptrepo.sh <repo-string> <gpg-key-fingerprint>

Then follow up with [sudo] apt-get update. I'm not making that call for you :P

You can find the gpg key fingerprint for a Launchpad repo by expanding Technical details about this PPA.
