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 found that Virtual manager and gnome boxes are both solid from a UI perspective. The big upside is that you don’t need to install a bunch of extra stuff. They are easy to install and setup and it is smooth sailing one you setup the guest
But they don’t break windows from within the guest, into the host desktop environment. You see the entire desktop as a container.
That’s the nice part. You get a shared clipboard and autoresize so you can use it like a regular app.
