Need free knockoff Excel, and other stuff

[Robert Fischer]

new laptop.

Looking for some free good software. Knockoff Excel is a must have. I'd like a basic 'Paint' type of program.
Any safe sites for downloading decent software much appreciated.

Google Docs has all of that for free.

LibreOffice Calc is a robust and popular spreadsheet.

When downloading the LibreOffice Suite, LibreOffice Draw is included along with Calc.

However, also worth considering is Krita (pro painting/raster-graphics) and/or Inkscape (pro vector graphics).

All of these programs are multi-platform and free and open source, and they are locally installed (on your computer), so there is no need to rely on the cloud.

Thanks Dave, Tupper

I believe I had Libre Office on my old laptop, so I'll try that again. Thanks for the advice as well.
