So, at school we use the whole Office 365 suite for a myriad of tasks.

Teams is used as the main way to share exercises and lesson material, Outlook is used as the resident email service, and you’re expected to use OneDrive to store all/most of your data. There are some additional apps that require Windows, but beyond the office 365 suite they are all replaceable.

What I’m wondering is, what distro can run/access those apps without too much hassle and set-up?

I’m looking to do this on a HP probook x360, upgraded to 32 GB of ram. The only peripheral of note I’ve got is a Ugee drawing tablet, but I can use the openTabletDriver or their own on some distro’s.

    I use Fedora 40 workstation (Gnome) , run everything (Outlook, OneDrive, etc.) on browser, Teams as a FlatPak, and use Only Office for Excel, which I then upload to One Drive.

    So far it’s all worked like a charm.

      You can also use OneDrive on the native file explorer if you sign into GNOME with your Microsoft account

        Yeah, that too, but for my work account that didn’t work for some reason, so I just use it over a browser.
