Thatās fantastic! Do we have a feature sheet anywhere, to compare the Windows vs. Linux versions?

Why is the website set up to only allow you to see a download button for the OS youāre on in many places, while other places have a button for Windows and MacOS regardless. There is so much continuity errors on the site is super frustrating sometimes to navigate. Its not doing anyone favours to hide download options and its a little ironic this baby-method is used when youre literally talking about someone using a very powerful AI.
They are going to generally have enough IQ points to click their OS. As it stands i cannot download the linux version on windows and take it to my vm. I HAVE to do it via the vm first. Why is this arbitrary limitation implemented INCONSISTANTLY.

Its standard to be inconsistent about when and where you post separate downloads?
