Which version of Linux? And are you compiling or running flatpak or distro supplied versions?

It's irritating as the pricing jump is so obviously designed to push users to their web product and it's just gobsmacking that anyone at a financial software company would think it's a good idea to put one's financial life onto cloud services. (whether personal or company/business)

And then there's Intuit. Go figure.

Insane.
