- Dayshine 7y agoCould you point me at the paid for equivalent for excel on Linux? If he donated even a thousand dollars he wouldn't get the product he can get for almost free on windows.
- SyneRyder 7y agoDoesn't Excel run under Wine? That might actually be the better option. (LibreOffice user here on Windows, donated in the past, but I find LibreOffice Calc really unpolished. It puzzles me because NeoOffice is really quite good on the Mac. I should probably just switch to MS Office.)
- stjohnswarts 7y agoCertain versions yep :) . Although I'm not sure it's flawless. Crossover office is best if you're going down that route, or just put windows in a VM and run it there if it's crucial to your work. That's what I do.
- Yhippa 7y agoThere's also a phrase for people who give things away for free and expect something in return.
- esyir 7y agoThis just turns Foss into the inferior but free option, and I don't think that was the intention.
