Show HN: Microsoft Office running with Wine on Linux with no virtualization
Microsoft 365 can now run on Linux using Wine and GE-Proton, bypassing virtualization. This was achieved by fixing several issues, including an installer error 0-2031 (17002) related to sppc.dll, an installer crash in the LastRun task due to Wine's WinRT PackageManager, and missing functions in Wine's kernel32 for Word. An ole32-shim was developed to address these, along with handling special user APCs and COM apartment teardown crashes. Sign-in with personal Microsoft accounts now works, with OneAuth kept and Web Account Manager paths switched off.
