They say that I can check the source code since it's open sourced, but I'm not sure. It's too complex, and downloading several files inside a script. I haven't checked yet but it can be downloading some blobs, idk.

Also the domain of the official page sounds suspicious... "mass grave"??

Edit: I use Debian btw

Yes it's not even really considered piracy. It creates a fully activated legitimate copy of Windows. It's just basically a key-gen. It is a trojan in that it works like a trojan would, except it's verified as safe.

But really you gotta know coming to Lemmy for this you're just gonna get told to run Linux. So I'll do it for you. Run Linux. The real trojan MAS creates is a fully activated copy of Microsoft Windows.

Oh, I use Debian as my daily driver, so don't worry about that ;). In fact, that's why I want to install Office on my clubhouse's computer.

I managed to run Windows on KVM but it's too slow and crashes occasionally, thus not very suitable for doing assignments.

Is this something that OnlyOffice could solve? They aim for strict compatibility with MS Office IIRC and it's been working really well for me.

Only office? Hahaha. Only if you never have to share a document.

Huh, my experience is that it has worked very well for just that, thus my recommendation.
