Installing Microsoft Office in Linux

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.

Download a McGraw Hill Education eTextbook

If you purchase a textbook from McGraw Hill, the website to view it is clunky and only works on some devices. You can't go to specific page numbers, the search is super slow, etc. That's why I wrote this script to download the textbook as an ePub file for your own viewing.

Using this script is 100% legal. McGraw Hill publicly hosts their ebooks online in order for their web client to download it. Moreover, to use it, you must already have purchased the book you would like to download, so it is legally yours to use as you please. However, it IS illegal to use this for piracy purposes. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE ANY TEXTBOOKS YOU DOWNLOAD USING THIS SCRIPT.
