if you own a non-online version of office - Crossover from www.codeweavers.com will let it run on Linux. You could likely also get it running with www.winehq.org - but crossover makes it so easy it's worth paying them, IMO.
Discover how easy it is to run Windows apps on Mac and Linux with CrossOver.
Don’t buy a Windows license, don’t reboot or use a virtual machine until you try CrossOver for Mac and Linux. Download a free 14 day trial now and get your Windows apps running on Mac and Linux.

I've been running Linux as my primary OS for many, many years... it can be an adjustment, but for the most part it is great. Good luck! For *real* docx support, there are a couple options - I believe the online versions of office work fine on Linux

Once dry, I take it out of the mold, file away the 'flashing' around the edges, and I fire it in a kiln, which sinters the bronze particles in the clay into a solid piece of bronze. I then polish the bronze and add a glass cabochon with an image I created on it to finish the piece.

I then #3Dprint the two halves of the mold on a resin 3D printer, and use a 2-part silicon - #smoothon Mold Max 60 - to make the two mold halves. I then pack each mold half with bronze metal clay, and press the two half together while it dries.

Once I have the #pendant design nailed down, I create two #mold masters, one each for the top and bottom halves of the mold. If I want to make the piece in metal clay, I have to make the mold bigger than I want the final piece, to account for shrinkage, and to provide vents for drying.

Usually there's a way to adjust the formatting based on the screen width - what's called a responsive design... but it also might not be worth the effort - this works fine on a wider screen...

They look nice - but quite a bit more $$$ than I was hoping to spend...
