When using a Windows VM I don't think it really makes a difference. In 
both cases you need to be online at install time to get the license and 
can then work offline afterwards. In case of 2019 there might be an 
option to activate via phone if they haven't killed it already.


When using CrossOver/Wine:

2019 ... 3/5 ... limited functionality [1]
 365 ... 4/5 ... runs well [2]

It's a Windows emulation on top of Linux. So you would install it in 
your normal Fedora or Debian AppVM and then run Office that way. That 
would make for perfect Qubes integration and lower resource usage.

Yep, my ThinkPad P51 came with just one. Got an additional express card 
to have a second one.

Thanks. Always done at the customer's expense, as you say.

Dear Qubes Community,

Fedora 32 is scheduled to reach EOL (end-of-life [1]) on 2021-05-25.


I have a question on https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/template/fedora/upgrade/:

Towards the end of the update procedure "Detailed instructions for 
standard Fedora TemplateVMs" there is the command

[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo dnf remove qubes-template-fedora-

However I wonder: I did not install a fedora- template per 
instructions, and I wonder about this asymmetry.




I have updated the documentation to address this.

[qubes-users] MS Office 365 in Qubes

2021-05-13 Thread 'taran1s' via qubes-users
I am using Qubes as my main OS and now it seems that due to my work 
assignment, I will need to use MS Office 365 and I would like to keep 
using my Qubes laptop.


I will need to use the MS Office 365 ideally with/without the following 
features:


- no need to have internet connection
- no need to have win apps other than the MS Office 365 are needed now
- need to copy and paste text in between win-AppVMs and non-win-AppVMs
- need to file sharing between win-AppVMs and non-win-AppVMs (copy and move)
- need to ideally be able to open the MS Office 365 files in various 
separate AppVMs, but it is not a killer and I can live without it if it 
complicates the situation too much.


My question is, if there is some workaround other than necessity to 
install whole Windows OS in my Qubes.


If the Windows OS installation is a necessity in this case, would you 
consider the WIN7 or WIN10 as better, less troublesome option? Could you 
point me to a how to guide? There is this guide 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/windows/. Is there any other one you would 
propose for this case?
