For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

I switched to Linux a while back for gaming and I am happy with it. There were a couple initial issues getting the sound and screen colors configured correctly and I did lost a few frames, but it seems to be improving.
Still some games I can not get to work on Linux, such as Sacred 2 and some other older ones. Probably just a lack of knowledge on my part. Still no US tax prep software that I trust for Linux, though.

Try free tax USA next time. It's what we use!

What tax prep software do you use? I thought they had all gone to just webapps at this point ..

Maybe they mean for a business?

H&R Block. They still used a downloaded app last year.

I was trying to run it from steam. I tried a while back, looks like support has gotten much better.
