I want to make a digital spreadsheet. Using Debian rn and the spreadsheet is currently a json file. I will end up using libreoffica if there isnt a lighter solution.
Gnumeric?
Of course, the only true spreadsheet one may whimsically recommend on this site would have to be Scheme In A Grid.

Use CSV files instead of Excel spreadsheets.
Manipulate the CSV data using a programming language such as R or Python.
This allows all your data and logic to be in plain text, which can easily be placed into a version control system.
CSV is a cross-platform solution that is language-agnostic and without vendor lock-in.

I'm confused at the reason why you'd want to do this. My idea is that you're not forced to use spreadsheet features that you don't care for. I use Libreoffice Calc for my spreadsheet work and I normally use a tiny fraction of what it's capable of doing.
Libreoffice Calc is fine for my simple needs.
>>4 dood I just tried that and it's a PITA if you're using a bunch of fields, many of which may be empty... and you keep adding new ones... like "how many commas for this row? ,,,, no, ,,,,, F!" *scrolls up to count the fields again*

What did you use to manipulate the CSV file? Did you use R? Or did you use a plain text editor? You should not use a text editor because the number of commas will confuse you.
install windows and microsoft works

Hmm maybe
I like linux so far but dont know if I just got accustomed to things breaking or if it is superior. Anyways setting up programming tools on linux is easier and I can afford a macbook.

there is sc-im if you're on linux
Keep your data in sqlite.
Spreadsheet calculator (sc)
R
These are what I've used in the past.
I find that JSON is a superior spreadsheet format.
I open up my JSON.exe in a text editor than I get my computer locked up n then I have to give my bitcoins away to get my data.
