The TLDR summary is that AVIF was going to be the next generation standard for image formats but when JPEG-XL released with a near identical feature-set, better quality compression, and backwards compatibility with JPEG, the tech world put its support behind JPEG-XL.
Naturally, Google as one of AVIF’s creators was unhappy that the standard they control looks like it will lose the format war and so they decided to use their web monopoly to kill JPEG-XL in the cradle by killing support for it in Chrome around a few months ago.
While this has slowed JPEG-XL’s momentum by a lot, even the other co-creators of AVIF like Apple, Meta, and Microsoft are still putting their support behind JPEG-XL and it seems like they would rather force JPEG-XL adoption themselves than go back to AVIF.
From the research I did a couple years ago, Office 2010 is the newest version that works out-of-the-box on Wine and the later versions have problems related to Windows Update functionality. Codeweaver’s CrossOver seems like it can run Office 2012 and later, but its paid software with their own patches to Wine.
For me, I’ve had a copy of Office 2007 on my system since 2021 and it seems to have all the important features of modern MS Office, so I wouldn’t stress about running the latest version if you have an older version on hand, unless it is older than Office 2007, because those only support the older Office file formats.
