It's for my mother, who so far cannot stand LibreOffice.

Mass grave 🤣🤣
key resellers have office 2021 pro plus (the non subscription one) for $30.00ish (earlier versions are even cheaper) and that is what I recommend if you absolutely have to get office.

Why not try out onlyoffice? The interface is almost exactly the same, and you get free cloud storage
Because they're russian and offering free cloud storage of your business documents
Fair point
i came across a guide on rentry that said how to permanently activate office 365 downloading from official microsoft servers
don't have the link

This really depends on what she’s using it for. If she’s going to use it for anything business related, she needs a legal copy. That includes her sitting down to write the next great American novel or Sookie Stackhouse series. If she’s just needs to open recipes someone else sends her, not a problem at all.
How are people installing it on Linux these days? Arch specifically.
I've been using it in a windows VM. Unfortunately for my work, I need the formatting of Excel and Word to be legit that I can't for the life of me seem to replicate in Only or Libre. That and PDF rendering always gets a little wonky somehow.
Are you able to run it through wine?
You could give WPS a look
why not directly type diskpart clean in an admin command line, at least the computer wouldn't be infected with chinese malware
As if the Chinese don't already have your data... You really think that just because MS Office is paid software that MS isn't also selling your data to the highest bidder?
Go on...
Free MS alternative. It's from a Chinese company and will occasionally hound you for their subscription but it's not needed to use in most everyday tasks.
Oh and a more niche note: it has themes so a true dark mode is possible, not like this far-too-common mud grey eyesore that everyone's using. Not a perk for everyone for but those of us who see white on black better than black on white, it's a godsend
