Container for all users
How can I make a container for all users (I want to install Microsoft Office there)?
Only one user must have sudo.
Please help me, I didn't found it in documentation.

I think you shouldn’t do that
In that case install the LibreOffice flatpak for all users by running the install command with sudo
You can’t get msoffice on Linux
LibreOffice can open the same files and is a good alternative
Why?
You can find it and the install command on Flathuv
Flathub
Home | Flathub
Find and install hundreds of apps and games for Linux. Enjoy Firefox, Telegram, RetroArch, GIMP and many more!
It’s useless and not intended and you can’t install Office on Linux it’s only for windows and Mac
Office through wine is god awful
When I used Ubuntu I get office using CrossOver. It worked fine
YOU PAID FOR A PIECE OF SHIT SOFTWARE OH MY GOD LMFAOOOO
YOU PAID FOR A FREE PIECE OF SOFTWARE CALLED WINE
and anyway LibreOffice is just as good you'll see, especially if you don't need the onedrive features
if you do, there' utilities to set up onedrive on Linux
OK, thanks I will try Libre
run the install command WITH SUDO
that should install for all ussers
sudo flatpak install flathub org.libreoffice.LibreOffice
you may need to add flathub as root as well
sudo flatpak remote-add flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
after installl it probably won't appear in your app menu
log out and back in to fix thid
if it still doesn't you can make a custom launcherSo containers don't work for all users? l Just interesting, and maybe I'll use it later.
probably if you fiddle around with podman, technically podman is meant to be run as root so it could probably do that but it's not really advised
@ﾑ丂ｲ乇尺ﾉ丂ズ Thank you very much!
or excel macros
hehe
onlyoffice is also an option and some prefer it. especially GNOME users
well I don't really care
I use libreoffice anyway
OnlyOffice looks really weird
like weirder than libreoffice
