End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending

My wife would like to switch. She hates Windows. The only thing holding her back is QuickBooks, which she needs for her bookkeeping business. I haven't been able to determine if it will run flawlessly under Wine.

I'm wondering if Office 2013 will run reliably and completely under Wine. I haven't tried Office-on-Wine in over a decade, I'd have to start at discovery again
From what I've been able to determine, yes it will. You may have to install the 32-bit version, though. I found this article from 2016:

How to Install Microsoft Office 2013 in Linux

The instructions will have to be adapted as PlayOnLinux isn't really much of a thing anymore. I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet.

Well, no, I don't think this campaign is going to bring about a wholesale switch from Windows to Linux. It does, however, provide resources and a starting point for those who have decided to make the switch, whatever their reasons. So, yes, I do think the campaign is worthwhile.

My employer will not be replacing their hardware and they are in no rush to abandon Windows 10. Most of our business administration is managed through the cloud anyway, so as long as the browser can be kept current, we should be fine.

Near as I have been able to determine, most older versions of MS Office will run in Linux via Wine (2016 and down). As long as the activation servers are still operational, I imagine.

I have noticed inconsistencies with LibreOffice and MS Office files too.

The biggest concern I have encountered is reliable WiFi drivers in Linux for older hardware.

Turns out, the game wouldn't work if you had Steam set to offline mode. Now it will. Just a nice little fix for players on handhelds.
And for those of us that don't have Internet access at home too.
