I was looking at something similar (CodeWeavers?) and it seems the latest version of Office that runs well was Office 2016.

I will have to take a look at WinApps.

Communication stuff (email, calendar, teams) is actually one area where I do use MS web apps and they work fine for those use cases.

    Ah yes, CodeWeavers CrossOver, yeah it’s essentially a customized and paid version of Wine, though I haven’t seen people have much more luck with it than just using latest standard Wine, but I’ve never tried it. When I tried various versions of Office directly in Wine, I ran across all kinds of installer and DLL issues, sadly.

    I’m far from an expert, but here are links to WinApps and WinBoat (very similar solution):
