    Last time I used libreoffice calc (two years ago), it had a lot of visual display issues. Scrolling a 2000 row spreadsheet let to visual glitches like ghost rows and other weird quirks. I don’t use spreadsheets enough so Google sheets solved my specific usecases.

    Although my company is primarily a Linux-heavy firm, barely any on staff uses libreoffice calc.

      I think you need to enable Skia software rendering, which is less buggy.

      Anyway, after Micro$oft 365’s sloppy redesigns and being pushy about marginal features, I dug out my 15-year-old Office 2007 CD to install it on Linux while getting used to open source alternatives. I switched from PowerPoint to Inkscape for graphic design when I grew up and I’m starting to adapt to LibreOffice and other FOSS for other tasks, too. It’s nice to leave Micro$oft’s shitty VBA, too.
