Pirating Microsoft Office 2019 on Linux? (lemmy.ml)

for some background, I'm on latest stable Kubuntu. able to use Microsoft Office via a KVM+Winapps setup currently. it mostly works but there are a few kinks like the display frame getting fucked up when going full screen or windowed, drag and drop being hit or miss and whatnot...

i did read up on Office 2019 being installable using Wine, but wasn't able to find any methods to activate it. MAS isn't really a thing on wine since we don't have Powershell I believe. any ideas?

I don't know if it solves your problem, but Powershell is officially supported, on linux.

for MAS to work, Powershell must run under wine so that it can find the Office installation

atleast, that's how I think it should be
