The antix linux call gets stronger and stronger for me everyday. I have it on a 23 year old laptop and it runs quite well, although it isn’t as clean as a using a full DE. While I do like running an enterprise grade OS, I’m happy to ditch any weak-willed organization that won’t stand up for itself or it’s users and become a radical antifascist communist cypherpunk hippie anarchist (on the outside).
I like to think of libreoffice calc as a spreadsheet program, it’s for running calculations on cells, that’s it.
Excel was, but is no longer, just a spreadsheet program. Many things have been smashed into it that could have been better implemented separately, but when you’re trying to tie down all office work to your single office suite, a hammer’s gotta hammer. So they hammered a lot of those uses into excel to keep office workers tied to it. Admittedly, that does make it easier for office work since you don’t need to train employees in multiple programs, you give them excel and teach them functions as they need them.
