If you want up to date office stuff your only option is the web version, and if up to date doesn’t matter to you you might as well switch to something that runs natively since you’ll have to deal compatibility issues anyway.
I haven’t tested it, but I have heard that the web version doesn’t even have very good compatibility with the local version which seems like it should be a focus for Microsoft considering a lot of people are paralyzed by the switch to Linux due to compatibility issues with only a select few apps, Ms office being one of them.
I managed to run Office 2007 and Office 2010, the latter requiring the winbind package to be installed.
But both of these are quite old, so Libreoffice seems more reliable to use anyway.
I managed to install Office 2013 (sometimes with success, sometimes not) and it ran close to perfectly, if it wasnt for the pop up menus disappearing :(
Is there even a way to use MS365 office on Linux? Otherwise you kind of have to ditch MS Office anyways. Unless you count the browser version
the web version works.
That’s what I have done for work - works fine.
well, not fine. it’s still ms office. but it works.

Not sure for the office suite, but there is at least a vsc version on flathub.
