Has anyone done this? Its a very proprietary program lol, so I can imagine that doesnt work.

But its powerful and my Uni supports it. I am fine with just following classes on Uni PCs and then learning QGis myself, but yeah…

Are there any tricks for running "modern", maybe DRM infested Software?

Also, how I did it was always just running executables in existing Bottles, as I dont get having a new small OS for each app. But that doesnt seem to work that well in Bottles.

    Cryptpad is great,

    How so, they don't even have a document editor that is even remotely comparable to LibreOffice, OnlyOffice or any other thing… and they really push their document "rich editor" a LOT and try to hide the OnlyOffice ones. They only seems to be willing to allow OnlyOffice to show spreadsheets.

    Also Cryptpad is a pile of overly complex shit that amounts to nothing and that can be compromised - its all just pointless overhead. Anyone using a simple FileBrowser setup is better.

    What license problem?

    The documents sever isn't free nor it isn't unlimited users https://www.onlyoffice.com/docs-enterprise-prices.aspx Even if you just use the desktop version the license goes and beats around the bush in questionable ways.

      Ok so you dont like Richtext? Thats okay, but doesnt really matter. Fork it if you dont like it?

      Richtext will simply work better and faster, even though I understand it sucks for some things.

      Having encrypted data on a server and decrypt it in the browser is not useless. I dont think you are using the correct wording here, sounds a bit polemic to me.

        You were suggesting their thing was comparable to OnlyOffice/LibreOffice when in fact is isn't, not even in the same planet.

        Having encrypted data on a server and decrypt it in the browser is not useless.

        Yes until it fails do decrypt or fucks up your document in some other way.
