Windows only.

I click the download link and they give me an “qumanasetup.exe” to run on Linux. Nice. (sarcasm)

Yep, and to say there are a “couple” of formatting options is quite the understatement. I’m sure people will come up with dozens, if not hundreds, of color combos

Michael, thank you for the review.

And in case people are wondering … Qumana is free and using the ad insertion is completely optional. Ads, no ads … still free all the features.
