Hmmm, don’t Libreoffice devs test it with actual MS Office instead of guesstimating the format?

Another thing that helps is baking in the fonts or using metric compatibles to MS ones.

display drivers

describes an issue that would be the job of your compositor & window manager

ODF support is in MS Office as well, but if you want to be extra sure you can export as .doc from any office suite (Libreoffice should also tell you if a feature you are using can’t be exported).

“to code”

Hello, this is Linus Torvalds, and I pronounce Linux as Linux

???

Debian separates out stuff with :[arch] suffixes, and is really flexible in the sense that it even lets you install stuff from completely different architectures for, for example, use with qemu userspace. An i386 package is going to only request i386 dependencies, unless it explicitly specifies an architecture, and vice versa. Arch Linux uses the “lib32-” prefix and I don’t really remember how it worked on Fedora but I would imagine something similar. All “gaming focused distros” are merely just their mainstream counterparts with an extra repo for a few packages, it’s not going to change fundamentals.

Maybe the Arch Linux “ports” RFC will finally be of use…

Also, box64 works better in my experience when all of the depending libraries are installed properly, and they are guaranteed to be there in this scenario given that there’s the Steam runtime.
