Office 2010 En Linux Mint
Siri Vonbank
Hello guys,
you know that Rhino3D runs perfectly under Linux?
I used a derivative of Wine that works great.
You can also test it using the trial version of Codeweavers CrossOver and Rhino3D both.
They have created a system that uses macros dedicated to each software that solves all the necessary dependencies automatically.
Each software is installed in a specific container where environment has everything you need to run Rhino without going into conflict with other software.
So I abandoned Windows (at home, in the office is unthinkable) and I can finally enjoy my beloved Linux Mint ^____^ and the fabulous and super-loved Rhino3D!
Wow, cool!
I am not sure wonder why Holomark only picked up the integrated gpu and not the 480.
Also I see that technical display mode took an awful long time to complete, I have no idea why that happened.
The linux install runs from a SSD drive in a PCI-E slot (around 20 seconds), because I got annoyed at the slow boot speed of Windows 10 on the very slow HDD drive (over five minutes). I have the drive still in the machine so I suppose I could try booting into it soon for comparison.
I personally hope that the Rhino3d developers help the Wine project suggesting how to resolve the dependencies correctly. apparently the Linux versions are unlimited but in fact the most common office oriented systems are those based on Ubuntu and derivatives. A BIG Linux lacks is CAD related (as Rhino3D) and users could widen between Rhino enthusiasts and cascading down to the professionals. Perhaps neither Linux nor Windows are the future because of the huge crisis of desktop PC systems, maybe the future is Android or a super closed Windows app system but bigger is the audience more is spread a system and this can be also applied to the professional that over time has shown sensitivity towards free solutions such as Blender that was used into school by students. Students and enthusiasts are an important weapon for the deployment of software.
Have you been able to set up a 64bit environment too with GDI+ ? I tried that to install Rhino WIP, but I run continuously into GDI+ problems with even just the installer Would be great to test Rhino WIP under CrossOver too.
I would like to use OneDrive on Ubuntu, May be working with all or some folders. Since there is no office OneDrive client in Linux, I've searched online and found "rclone" but not sure how secure it is or is there any other alternative out there?
I am the maintainer of the free OneDrive Client for Linux, which supports OneDrive Personal, OneDrive for Business, OneDrive for Office365 and Sharepoint, and fully supports Azure National Cloud Deployments for those that require it. It fully supports shared folders - both OneDrive Personal and OneDrive Business Shared Folders.
With your existing command, no - there is no automatic sync occurring. However, if you switch '--synchronize' for '--monitor' this will continually sync until you exit the application - ie - sync automatically.
It has deb/rpm/AppImage packages and runs on nearly all linux distros. There is a desktop edition as well as a server edition that runs headless. Mounting specific sharepoint sites, remote paths, etc are all supported as well as offline mode and async writes. Also built to withstand reboots, transient networks, etc.
Expandrive has the ability to connect to Onedrive and Sharepoint and create a virtual mounted drive. You do not have to sync files to your computer to use them. It operates like a mapped network drive in Windows (without a drive letter of course) or a mounted drive on a Mac. Expandrive is not free and I have no association with the company. But I do have a license of my own. You can try it for free and even keep using it for free once the trial expires. However, after the trial expires you will only be able to use it for something like 20 minutes and then have to restart it.
Expandrive also connects to may other platforms including SFTP (which allows a Windows client to map a drive letter to a Linux SFTP server). It has Windows, Linux and Mac clients. Even when you have a native client for a specific app (Say OneDrive or Dropbox in Windows), Expandrive can be useful to just create a mapped drive and not have to worry about managing synced folders.
@jsmpvSomething about "polished and powerful": Be aware, that there is no offline sync feature in the linux version. I complained about that already over a year ago, but all I get are empty promises, that this feature will be implemented soon.
Download Google Chrome Beta or Dev (keep the paths and SSH key separate- a tmp user account is my usual go to on fedora) In the browser - click you can mount it as a separate drive on your file system. No sudo required. @muratkazanova
If your still out there in the wild working on this - I can dev a framework to fit the use case and tarball it for you but I would need to know the logic just so I could make it useful, mine is pretty "neat-o", I can snap up something fairly quick if needed
For many, it was an academic exercise: something you tinkered with when you'd moved to a new machine and could afford to corrupt your old workhorse. There was no guarantee that a Linux machine would play nicely with your existing data, sharing files with friends and family could be difficult, and the overall process could often have been a lot more user-friendly. None of that is true today.
Let's be blunt: there's no reason why Linux shouldn't be your primary operating system. Most of your data is platform agnostic, many apps run in the browser, and Linux itself is as friendly and easy to use as Windows.
Ubuntu might be the best-known distribution, but Linux Mint (linuxmint.com), which is based on Ubuntu, is where many Windows switchers end up. Where Ubuntu uses the Gnome desktop environment, Mint uses Cinnamon by default, but can also work with MATE or Xfce. Cinnamon retains many Windows constructs that Gnome lacks, including the taskbar, applets, and desklets (reminiscent of Windows' desktop gadgets).
Using Linux once required familiarity with the command prompt, but that's rarely the case today. You can install software without touching the keyboard, thanks to built-in app stores, and comprehensive Setting applets make configuration easy. Nor do you need to relearn your Windows muscle memory. Well-established keyboard shortcuts carry across, so you already know 90% of what you need to get started.
Mint comes bundled with LibreOffice, which offers broad compatibility with Microsoft's Office document formats. Linux distributions don't have access to the Calibri or Cambria fonts used in Office, but alternatives are available. Carlito and Caladea were designed to be metrically equivalent to Calibri and Cambria, and Microsoft has made other fonts available for installation using Terminal. On a Debian operating system like Linux Mint, the necessary command is: sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer The package includes Arial, Times New Roman, Georgia, Courier New, Impact, and Verdana.
Linux Mint requires 2GB of RAM, 20GB of disk space, and a 1,024 x 768 display. Compare that to Windows 11, which needs double the RAM, 64GB storage, an HD (720p) display, and, crucially, Trusted Platform Module version 2 (TPM 2). If you want to keep older hardware running into the future without compromising security, Linux is your best bet. It can also help reduce your contribution to the world's e-waste mountain.
Switching to Linux doesn't necessarily mean losing access to the apps you rely on. Mainstream Windows apps such as Inkscape, DaVinci Resolve, and Thunderbird have Linux equivalents, others run in a browser, and many older programs can be run using WINE (winehq.org). WINE is a Linux environment that acts as a Windows layer on top of the Linux OS. It isn't installed by default, but you can set it up through the Terminal.
WINE supports 30,000 Windows apps, including Photoshop CS6, Excel 2016, and WordPerfect X3. When browsing the list (appdb.winehq.org), favor apps with Platinum or Gold ratings, as these are considered to work without issue. You'll need your old installation media to set them up.
So far we've presented the arguments for Linux Mint, but some might ask why not run Ubuntu instead. You'll receive updates sooner and there will be fewer links in the dev chain as your OS won't be an adaptation of an existing operating system. And you will notice that I only say "some" Windows apps work. Not all.
If you need to run specific versions of apps there's often no option but to stick with Windows or switch to macOS, where equivalent versions exist. In this case, if your hardware doesn't have the specs required by Windows 11, check out Tiny11.

due to the current suboptimal state of the universe I am spending a lot of time in front of my computer(s) at home and looking for ways to streamline my setup. Since I am also struggling with severe analysis paralysis, I would like to hear what everybody else is using for their Julia work!
I ssh into a linux workstation in my office from a macbook. HiDPI works without effort on macOS, and both VS Code and Juno offer pretty nice remote development features. I try to avoid actually running code on macOS due to the annoying clang / random Xcode updates causing breakages / Catalina stuff.
I have a linux server at home that hosts a few virtual machines using KVM, and my primary personal development machine is a 6-core VM on this server. I use an iPad Pro with keyboard to mosh/ssh into it to do my work.
Using VSCode for editing on all platforms. Julia works great on all. There are some very good terminal options on Win (MobaXTerm, the new Windows Terminal, etc), Fork or Tower for the visual Git client, etc, etc.
