I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

MS Office 365 is also fully functional in a browser these days.

Personally I prefer the offline version for various reasons.

Offline use is a good point. I wouldn’t want to try and use google sheets in some kind of sandboxed scenario.

If google would release a local server I could run of google apps I’d love it. But any desktop version of the same I wouldn’t trust. I’d still want to access them via browser.

Not because of bad actors but just because of bugs in deployment of two different architectures for the same app.

The issue I have with online spreadsheet is that browsers are generally not allowed to access the local filesystem through scripts. For good reasons no doubt, but when that’s what I need to do, then it just won’t work.

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.
