Even 10 years ago, this would've been unthinkable. Never would I have ever thought Microsoft would oublish a guide on instanjing Linux.

It's not that long ago when Steve Ballmer said "Linux is cancer".

Oh wait, that was 22 years ago.

Pretty insane seeing the market dominant OS telling people how to install another OS lol

They've been moving this way for years. SQL server, .net core and powershell all run on linux and are a much bigger deal.

MS Office support when?

When windows for arm based on Linux and with backwards compatibility using wine and invisible VMs.

Technically Now. They have a web version, and their latest version of Outlook is basically their web app. If they release a linux binary it'll just be a wrapper for the web version. It's also a way for them to reach Chrome books.

Oh, that will explain why outlook runs like shit on my new computer.

Do you actually need to run MS Outlook specifically?

Not really fond of it. But so far it's the best tool I've found to be used in a professional environment that supports Exchange.

10 minutes ago this was unthinkable lol, I'm shocked at reading this!!
