Tableau is popular with data analysts, but it's one of the most
expensive packages around.
It has quite a lot of features around data discovery, and
enterprise-compatible ways to create and share reports, and integrates
with a lot of data sources -- but I don't think you're using those
sort of premium features.

If you find a FOSS package that manages to incorporate the data
discovery stuff from Tableau then I'd be interested to hear of it.

As others have mentioned, Kibana is probably the most similar in terms
of creating reports - but I believe it is tightly coupled to
Elasticsearch, so that's a whole new syntax to learn.

Other projects worth mentioning are Google's Data Studio, and
Periscope Data -- neither are FOSS, but they're compatible with Linux
and I think free for personal use / low levels of usage.
