I tried a few methods for Office. First, I went with Bottles, but it is a flatpak app, and as such is sandboxed, and doesn’t have access to some system libraries, including Winbind.<\/p>\n
I then moved on to the latest stable version of Wine, version 9.0. I followed a nice tutorial that felt like it could work, I left a link to it in the description.<\/p>\n
https:\/\/ruados.github.io\/articles\/2021-05\/office365-wine<\/p>\n
But, after about 20 minutes, I got this error, which, looking at it online, seems to affect Windows users too, except I don’t have the tools on Linux to fix the error, since it seems to require the windows control panel to fix.<\/p>\n
Last thing I tried: installing Office 365 inside a Windows VM, and copying the files over. As expected, pasting all the Office related files in the respective directories in Wine’s virtual C Drive didn’t do anything, even after adding the few regedit changes mentioned by the online tutorial I found. <\/p>\n
Next was Adobe Photoshop. I tried using the PlayOnLinux built-in script, just to see, but it failed immediately, because it couldn’t download the file.<\/p>\n
I then decided to create a wine prefix to try and install it using basic Wine Stable. Nothing here, the installer never actually displays any window that I could interact with, it’s stuck, and the terminal doesn’t show any specific error or missing DLL I could try to fix.
\nTime to install things inside of a Windows VM, and to try copying the files over, because I’ve been told this can work.<\/p>\n
I copied all the directories, and I tried running the photoshop executable from Bottles, and… it didn’t work either. DLLs are missing from the install, for some reason or another, and can’t be found.<\/p>\n
