I mean yeah, but specifically I'd like something built for Linux that's good for just basic spreadsheet stuff. I'm an electrician so I mostly just need to track jobs and accounts.
Take a look at Apache OFBiz, Akounting, Frappe Books, and LedgerSMB.
Most of (what we call) Linux OSes are formally GNU/Linux. GnuCash is as close as it gets to "made for Linux". If you don't want an accounting-specific application, but just generic spreadsheets, check out LibreOffice.
I highly recommend GnuCash for accounting though: a fellow board member cleaned up an org's accounting by putting it all in GnuCash, where it was a bunch of error-prone Excel sheets before. That really made it easier to keep track and to do it right.
Huh, they've even got active development on an Android app. https://github.com/GnuCash-Pocket/gnucash-android?tab=readme-ov-file
Yeah I installed the android app just for fun.(I don't do accounting lol)
