> Just run old windows versions with your old office in a virtual machine I don't like VMs. I prefer technical solutions like Wine. And if I go this way, I might as well give the boot to Windows to run Wine on Linux: all I really need is AHK, Office, Edge, and a good Terminal. From my last Linux experiences, I already know Office works great on Wine. Edge is wonderful too, first class citizen on Ubuntu (oh firefox snap, please die already lol) I'd have to check how well AHK, then mintty or Windows Terminal runs on Wine (Linux terminals offer an abysmal user experience), but I'm ready to do that if that's what it takes to keep Office 2010 running baremetal. I've been using Office 2007 then 2010 since uni (and back then they were already getting long in the teeth and Office 365 was already being pushed) and ... I don't ever plan to stop as I like many small details, like how Word starts faster than the new notepad.
