    I saw you can run old versions of Microsoft office via wine for free, is that technically legal such that they can do that?

      Depends on the license and version. I do know some old office versions are “forever” use since it was before madness became standard practice. Now how useful old office versions would be? No idea, however Libreoffice is up to date, useful and open.

        It’s not one that you previously bought, it just appears as an option in the software manager.
