    Turbo Tax and Quicken are home user Linux killers.

    TurboTax 2023, rated “Bronze” in Wine compatibility, Premier 2021 gets “Gold” <https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=623>

    Quicken, various versions from 2016, 2017, 2020: “Gold” or “Silver” <https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=107>

    In over 30 years of ding this, I have been unable to convert any
    business over to Linux as they must have their M$ Office, QuickBooks, Adobe...

    Microsoft 365 (not “Office” any more) lists Linux as an official supported platform.

    QuickBooks, version 5.0 is “Silver”, 6.0 is “Platinum” under Wine <https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=120>

    Adobe ... irrelevant to 99% of Windows users anyway.

    Hi Joel,


    Yo.


    What is your take on KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine)?
    All kinds of code is being "executing natively".

    I absolutely adore KVM!


    Wikipedia's info on it sounds interesting.

    Amendment XIV
    Section 1.

    [...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
    abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
    United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
    life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
    nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
    protection of the laws.

    Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
    liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
