The UI is proprietary and it's too complicated to use IMO. I just use Trivalent for non-critical work like doing practice tests for driver's license and Brave in Kicksecure VMs for Google, Claude Desktop (yes, it works on Linux), my school site and I also have my Gentoo-based development VM there.

Spoiler

Please don't cancel me for my choices, OK? I don't care about company's politics or stances, I just care only about the product doing what it's advertised to do and not doing anything shady behind the scenes.
