To add to what the other commenters are saying, I also sometimes look at whos responsible for the software. Is it a repo from a big company? Is it a gnu project? Is it just from somebody with a username consisting entirely of numbers? Is it hosted on codeberg or forgejo or some other friendlier server? That stuff also says alot, even if there are few recent commits, if its from reputable people you may still get well maintained software.
Ah I see. From what I know of it, SEO has been broken for a while now. Good luck!
sooo… If I understand this right, this is a tool to spam the web with daily AI generated blog posts?
I never tried pirating native linux programs, but windows stuff worked well for me. Use some sort of wine prefix manager for this, like bottles. I used PlayOnLinux, but its an old buggy mess and there are modern alternatives nowadays. There is also umu-launcher and stuff that uses umu, which is more for games, but also works well for programs.
The most trouble I had was with installers and setup tools that need certain files to be in certain locations. There is a mod manager for Dawn of War 2 thats an exe that needs files from an installed game, and it was very bad on linux, with missing fonts and crashes. I got it to work with some fiddling however. On WineDB and ProtonDB there is guaranteed at least one person who had any given problem and has an arcane solution, or at least a bug report with lots of information, so try there if you are stuck. Good Luck!
Edit: Here is the WineDB link, seems to work well, but it was only tested up to version 17. https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2793
KDE Connect: An app for iOS, android, pretty much every flavor of linux, windows, etc. that lets you connect any devices together to share files, show notifications of other devices, use your phone as an input device(keyboard, mouse), control multimedia applications(start, play, stop, etc.), trigger commands, and everything else if you make a plugin for it.
This is a bit heavy handed I think. This also forbids AI assisted code review and lots of other things. Perhaps they should have defined it a bit more focussed on getting rid of vibecoded spam instead of forcing a specific developing format for their whole platform.
