Yeah I don't as in the bazzite installer it's a real pain to set it up manually (also not allowing you to spread the partitions over multiple drives during the initial setup)

Ah well, not the first time I changed distro xD I'll make some space on my drive and test it

A very dumb question probably, but I'm new to using Linux so I lack a lot of understanding: I'm on Bazzite atm. Would there be a simple way to switch to blend OS without wiping everything? Like a rebase? Probably not but I figured it's worth a shot to ask xD

Hey does anyone know how to get microsoft suite apps on linux? in c/[email protected]

Try fmstrat/winapps it's installation process is well documented and it works relatively well. In case you don't need too much functionality (e.g. complex formatting/custom template/a ton of custom add-ons) the online version might work for you. There's also a web app for teams you can find on flathub iirc. Betterbird also gives you a ton of options and with owl addin it handles exchange pretty well and also gives you access to the teams web app directly inside betterbird

Reaper also lets you keep evaluating it if you're unsure that you want to buy it.

Hi there,

I've just recently started using Linux (Mint) and I'm pondering on if and how to change my setup.

Here's how it is right now: I have 4 drives - 1 512GB ssd which has Windows installed on it, a 2 TB hdd that's used for storage on the Windows part of my system, a 1 TB m2 ssd with Linux Mint and a 2 TB ssd for storage on my the Linux part of my system.

I can't unfortunately get rid of Windows completely, as I need the Office Suite for Work - I do training sessions on process optimization mostly online via MS Teams.

At the moment, I have fmstrat/winapps installed, as well as teams-for-linux (which is just a web app as far as I know) for most basic things like outlook and teams messages. Both options (Web-apps and winapps) are not really suitable for online training sessions or more work intense sessions as they are simply too slow or missing features. For everything else, I'll do a reboot into the windows system and after I'm done I reboot back to Linux.

Now here's my question:

Is there a way, e.g. to put a VM fullscreen over both displays on one workspace and give it full power / resources so I won't notice much difference to a native system (How good would my components need to be for this?) - and suspend the VM if I switch away from that workspace back to Linux. And would this be suitable to access my devices like the rodecaster pro duo or my cam (via CamLink 4K) and my streamdeck?

Do you have any other better ideas to get to my goal of basically having an easy way to switch between Win and Linux. The Windows VM would only be used for Office work and online Meetings but both should run without any noticeable lags or glitches.

Would another distro be better for this task? I like working with Linux Mint atm but I wouldn't mind trying a different one as well - the Linux distro would have to be suitable for gaming though.
