Wine fans have a reason to smile today. Wine 11.0 is finally here, and it is a big deal for anyone running Windows software on Linux. After a full year of work, more than six thousand code changes, and hundreds of bug fixes, Wine is moving forward in a way that feels like a turning point. This release tightens up major subsystems, improves performance, expands hardware support, and carries a big win for compatibility. If you have been waiting for Wine to feel smoother and a little less fussy, 11.0 might be the moment you jump back in.

I have been doing fine with libre office. I mostly do doc and send as pdf. If they ask for word format I save it as such and send it to them. spreadsheet and slides I don’t share. Granted at workplaces I use whatever they give me to use on my work machine.
