The tax return software here only works on Windows so unless you are thinking of a hobby to hide away from friends and potential sexual partners I pretty much see no reason for Linux and BSD, despite the fact I am typing this on a laptop running Debian stable.

Why? Old thread's only got 56 posts

Because it was filled with arguing and these threads are supposed to be friendly.
Plus it was old.

That's not how that works. People don't like generals as it is, if you clutter the board with duplicates every time someone posts something you don't like you're just going to create more disdain for the very thread you want to succeed.
