Thanks for the information fren! You just rebooted my memory... I did install Linux on a spare laptop I had laying around years ago I dont recall which version of Linux it was.
What I did not like was the office program. Excel is superior in its commands, etc. However, for simple tasks Linux office libre is much better than Google office crap.
THanks!
Give WPS a spin. There is no VB script, but it is pretty good. Though, when it comes to programming, Calligra is your friend. I have to say: it is quite bare, so you would have to code the stuff you need yourself.
Libre/Open office is pretty good, has programming options and plugins. But certain things are absolutely missing. I haven't tried the named ranges, though.
Personally, I use Freeoffice from the Mxlinux package repository, as it has a functioning link to database-use when using word / excel type documents.
Tried the same with Open Office and Libreoffice, but it is pretty bad. The Oracle bridge crashes.
WPS is quite interesting, as it works very well with more difficult formulas.
It is all a matter of giving it a spin, and checking what works for you.
yes, it depends on what its being used for and if there's a need to share a workbook. If just browsing the internet, Linux cant be beat for a free program.
Thanks again for the information !
If it is about online collaboration, consider: only office.
That said: sharing a sheet is easy enough including version tracing, and can perfectly be done in the cloud without resorting to big tech.
