Corel Linux first launched in 1999, from the same company that at the time owned the WordPerfect word processing software. While it was made to compete with Microsoft's Windows it quickly died off.
Since you mentioned it (paradox) there was a small outfit that build a wonderful dbase(4,5) oriented db manipulation suite that run straight on DOS (5 5.1) and it would run circles around anything available for win3.1… etc.
It was called Alpha
Those win based spreadsheet/db programs had to draw the entire data set in gfx mode which took for ever by machines of the time if you worked with large datasets. I miss it and whish something like it was available as tui/cli
