[Solution] Migrating to Linux and the ms office problem for Students.

Well if you are a university student you are probably facing this problem, but I got two solutions for you.

PS: This tutorial is for beginners like me. Probably users will say a lot of things against ms office, but if you are a student you have to adjust with your local library set doc format, which will be dependent on ms office. So, take a deep breath and lets start.

​

**First option**: WPS office. Why? Well, its the one which best suited me in many aspects which are more similar to ms office and doesn't unset the doc format.

Step one: download and stall: [https://www.wps.com/](https://www.wps.com/)

Steps two: open your Linux terminal and type this commands:

sudo su

sudo apt install msttcorefonts

Thats it, your docs will probably be very similar to office ms. But if you still have some problems, see the seccond option. If you need more help on these steps check this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3R58a0cg0Y](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3R58a0cg0Y)

​

Seccond option: Office 365 online.

Why? Well, it\`s free for students and you will have no problems at all with unset formats. Even better, your documents will always be on cloud, so its always saved for you. Believe me, you can adapt to use office on your browser and having everything on cloud is safe from losing it on crashed pendrives. Lets start:

Step one: Make an institutional email on your educational institution. You will need it to prove that you are an actual student.

Step two: put your institutional student email and log in with it to this ms link: [https://www.microsoft.com/pt-br/education/students](https://www.microsoft.com/pt-br/education/students)

step three: Wait for ms office email you, normally it took less than 24 hours.

Well, it's simple, but these simple steps took me from fully migrating to Linux for almost a year when I finally discovered all these possibilities. I wish it help you someway.

1080p DRM streaming, why not on Linux?

HBO, Amazon, Netflix.. they all restrict to 720p on Linux, why this stupid decision? Switching the browser agent doesn't work nor custom extensions. Do we will ever have 1080p streaming on Linux?

13 Years of Macintosh: Pop OS, Ubuntu or Elementary OS?

Hi everyone, I'm Francesco and I've been using OS X (before) and MacOS (now) for almost 13 years, with just some casual Windows usage in between.

I'm really intrigued to try some Linux distributions, but I don't know which one to pick being a complete beginner. Unfortunately I have also zero knowledge on the command lines and that's the reason why I would stick with something very similar to MacOS.

I've done a little research and this is what I got:

**Ubuntu:** the oldest one and probably the most complete/reliable

**ElementaryOS:** very MacOS style, but too simple in certain aspects

**Pop OS:** in between, with a clean u/I but also nice options for advanced features

My question is: is it totally fine trying to switch from Mac OS to Linux without having any Terminal knowledge? If no, which is the easiest distro to use?

Linux natively running Windows apps

Hello yall!! Is there any Linux DISTRO that natively runs Windows applications, without having to use WINE or something like that?




I've heard that REACT OS does that, but as I've seen not all the Windows applications can be run on React Os, but only a limited list of programs.




Is there any better option?
