    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

Winapps, based on KVM, QEMU, Docker/Podman and FreeRDP. Still actively maintained (getting Github commits). Decribed below
Cassowary, based on KVM, QEMU, libvirt/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 while the Windows apps themselves run flawlessly (as they're running on real Windows) there's various freerdp-related bugs you may encounter.
