Re: [qubes-users] MS Office 365 in Qubes
TLDR: installing O365 using CrossOver is a normal Linux thing and has nothing Qubes OS specific to it -- whatever works in a "normal" Linux will work on Qubes OS too; if done with a standard Debian/Fedora qube all Qubes OS features will work. experience running CrossOver in Qubes I don't have any experience running O365 in CrossOver, but have observed others doing so on "normal" Linux installs (Mint, Ubuntu etc). They appeared satisfied. Is it easy to get data in/out to other vms (via copy paste or file transfer)? It's a normal debian/fedora qube so all your Qubes features work. Wine/CrossOver is an emulation layer, which means there is no Windows clipboard but instead when the respective API gets invoked the contents lands in your linux clipboard (inside the qube). From there you use the normal shortcuts to transfer to/from dom0. Sending/Receiving files works as always. Your Windows C: drive lives under ~/.wine/drive_c or something similar. O365 is not and has never been my main concern, but I do have it installed in a Windows 10 qube. The reason I need Windows has more to do with proprietary automotive network analyzing tools for which I also need USB (that doesn't work with CrossOver). So it was never really a question for me. My point to the OP was merely that if O365 is the ONLY reason to run Windows, I'd go and download a free eval copy of CrossOver and try that first before attempting to install an entire Windows qube. Also because I suspect it'll be far lighter on resources and cheaper than buying a Windows license. I'd recommend the same to you. It won't cost you a thing. Wine is FOSS and CrossOver is a somewhat more polished commercial version of it with a free evaluation. The reason I recommend it is that I expect it to work a bit smoother than the vanilla Wine for the installation. Although the Wine has also a package called Winetricks ... you could give that a try too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

How stable and solid is it? How performant? Is it easy to get data in/out to other vms (via copy paste or file transfer)? My worry is that it would be too many layers: Qubes dom0 (Xen) -> AppVM (linux) -> CrossOver (Windows API translation) -> Office But it sounds like it works for you? In Qubes? I thought perhaps using a Win10 qube might be more direct and thus better, and also potentially more stable over a period of years (since you are not relying on Codeweavers to keep maintaining CrossOver by tracking the Win10 API): Qubes dom0 (Xen) -> AppVM (Win10) -> Office but this seems to be tricky for people and the current state of qubes tooling on Win10 not good. So CrossOver holds some interest to me. I have similar issues with LibreOffice - it is a wonderful and miraculous body of code but I have found it is not good for collaborating with Office users (in my case, track changes causing crashes on both sides after several rounds of document exchange in Word/LibreWriter).

If you got your church to qualify then maybe they will set you up with a license? MS also allows unlimited binary installs (PC, iOS, Android, etc) for each individuals assigned license plus some discounts on the Win10 OS you could use as an AppVM. There is also TechSoup.org which provides discounted software and refurbished hardware to qualifying nonprofits. I am also battling with the Office365 products on Qubes. If you want to have discussion off line please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I know about the MS NonProfit program because I have my own startup 501(c)(3) ( hdri.org) for doing medical research on a long ignored disease that has no test, no cure, no statistics collected because nobody ever gets diagnosed, and so currently it will never be funded for any research in humans. Your dog can be easily tested and cured but you would likely get kicked out of the clinic or ignored for even suggesting you might have this very same disease. It's being treated exactly the same as Lyme disease was back on the 60's. Will they ever learn?
