That’s my take also. But apparently, it isn’t important on Linux so we
shouldn’t change it. Because no-one uses Excel on Linux, therefore
they would never use this function if they use Linux.

I wasn't there obviously so I don't know the nuance of the discussion. But the fact that nobody uses Excel on Linux means we have a bit of freedom to decide what to return there since we are not bound by the compatibility concerns, rather than just declaring "we shouldn't change it".  That'd be my take.

Of course, I don't have a skin in the game, so I'll leave the final decision to whoever is more appropriate.

I remember hearing somewhere there is an official port of Excel for linux (and I used to run it under Wine), so some people do.

Although whether the "official port" is Office 365 running in the browser I don't know. Maybe I should try it, I do have a subscription :-( See what it returns.

I just tried it, it is not recognized in the online version. This is mentioned in the documentation as well: "Note: The INFO function is not available in Excel Web App." (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/info-function-725f259a-0e4b-49b3-8b52-58815c69acae).
