From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Excuse me, I have some problems using .xls files on LibreOffice Calc. I tried opening the file and it worked but when I tried to save my work, it crashed. Is there any way to make it work?

It worked on Microsoft Excel on Windows 11. The file crashed the computer, but it worked passed 5 minutes and I could save my work.

Yeah, you can make it work by finding one of your it guys and dumping it in a real database. Spreadsheet software is NOT meant to handle data like that.
