Could you build this?

Partial While Nix Flakes and wrapper scripts can be vibe-coded, running native Office 365 on Linux without virtualization requires complex reverse-engineered Wine/Proton compatibility shims and undocumented API overrides.

What it would actually take: The stack involves Nix Flakes, Wine/Proton staging configurations, dynamic library overrides, and registry manipulation to satisfy Microsoft's modern DRM, authentication, and COM dependencies. The hard part is reverse-engineering Office runtime crashes and edge cases in the Wine compatibility layer without deep systems-level Windows/Wine debugging experience.
