Quoting: peta77office 365 works without any problems with firefox on linux... we have it at work and i didn't have any problems yet (ok, i still use thunderbird and libreoffice most of the time)...

Not all the options in the O365 apps are available on the web version though.

Unlikely. MS wants everybody to use Office 365 anyway, and is very likely to make local versions less and less desirable over time, until the elbowed everybody into their cloud. The last thing they're likely going to do is add new platforms to stand-alone office.

Not necessarily. Office 365 can also be self-hosted, and even included with Nextcloud. Granted, this is the backend service for their cloud but I can easily imagine a flatpak/snap/docker version of O365 might be released for Linux.

Most likely though, since they (like a lot of others) target Ubuntu directly, they might mean the Snap Store.

If the release it's anything similar to PowerShell, it will mostly be available for apt, zypper, yum, etc via repos too.

Not interested in Edge though.

Holly shit, I didn't know about the acquisition! Man, it's really discouraging seeing how companies are being engulfed by bigger companies constantly and amass an even larger portion of IPs and talent :(

Awesome news! Will those integrations be available for other distros? I wish Pop_OS! was based on Debian instead of Ubuntu, I think I would like it more.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyIt's cool, but at that point why "replace"? Why not just have a desktop computer?

Maybe people with tiny houses want something like this

I lived in a tiny house until 2 years ago (27 sq meters, thanks Camberwell) and this would have been a much less space saver than my ITX build connected to the TV.

Come to that, it strikes me that people who can afford this much for a computer mostly don't live in tiny houses. Sure, no doubt there are exceptions, young upwardly mobile singles living in fashionable urban tiny lofts, but as a rule.

That's a very good point. Although the mobile in "young upwardly mobile singles" wouldn't be so true with this laptop.

When I see a "laptop" of this size and weight, and then read "desktop-replacement", the only thing that comes to mind it's how to replace my desktop so it can support such monstruosity.

I might give it a go. Although also backed TaleSpire in Kickstarter and haven't played much, mainly because I don't really know many people to play with. Or not many campaigns are newbie friendly (dnd 5e) -or I don't find them- xD
