Today Microsoft #Excel differences on Windows to macOS (missing menus just ribbon) got me thinking: can I not just run a #SpreadSheet in the #Linux #terminal for basic data work and visualisation?
I want something akin to the original text only #Lotus123 (which I used for school work on DOS), but ideally with in-terminal graphics for #DataViz.
There is https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im (must self compile, not trivial), several apparently abandoned tools like https://www.syntax-k.de/projekte/teapot/ - and multiple vibe-coded rust tools I'd rather avoid...
Suggestions please?

In my country, it is utmost impossible to share our mental health issue with other people. Why, since mental health is still taboo. When people learn about our issue, they will avoid us like plague and the employment world will be closed forever. The only way to share my issues is through a semi anonymous Mastodon account. Note: since English is not my native language, I often edit my posts to make them easier to read or to fix grammar mistakes.

I am proud with the fact that I 'wasted' my teenage years with MS DOS, Windows 3.11, Netware, WordStar, Lotus123 and some other fantastic software.
