At one time, Manjaro Linux came with Microsoft Office pre-installed. The apps were built with python jade application kit with embedded webviews that take you to the online version - https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/manjaro-ms-office-online...

That's not impressive in any way. They just launch a window with a web view and go to Microsoft’s Office Online. That was already a thing in 2007/2008. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site-specific_browser
