We would like to thank the Pi app developer Botspot:
to take our wishes into account and adding Gnumeric to Pi apps.
Pi apps is a fast, reliable spreadsheet program
- the spreadsheet programs specifically written for Linux
- Gnumeric is lightweight, fast, and very responsive
- It can save as .gnumeric files, .ods files, or even the familiar Microsoft Office .xls filetype
- On the Linux Pinephone Gnumeric is recommened instead of LibreOffice Calc because Gnumeric menus work better on the Pinephone than Libreoffice menus.
- On the Pi zero 2 w Libreoffice takes 45 seconds to start up. Take Abiword and Gnumeric instead, it start up faster and works better on smaller screens.
To run Gnumeric: Menu -> Office -> Gnumeric
To run in a terminal: gnumeric
We have here the complete pi apps list of applications:
