I initially wanted to try and find various, even convoluted, ways of running the most used #Windows apps on #linux

Since none of them cooperated, no matter the technique, app, or version of Wine I tried, I decided instead to make a video highlighting how Wine definitely isn't a solution for anything other than games:

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Unfortunately, yes, I used Wine and Codeweavers Crossover for years to run MS apps under Linux, but nowadays, it is too challenging and resource-demanding. The last decent version of Office that was truly usable was 2010/2013.
Currently, it is much better to use web apps, with all their limitations.

And just in case, yes: it is much better using LibreOffice, but if you need to exchange documents with other people using MS shit, it is neither practical nor safe.
