Okay, let's suppose I never heard of xiphos, which is indeed the case, but I wanted to find bible study software for Linux. https://www.linuxlinks.com/biblesoftware/ Back to searching. Perhaps I'm running Ubuntu with snap. https://snapcraft.io/store?q=bible+study 8 hits, no xiphos. Or I'm on the Fedora box with flatpak. https://flathub.org/apps/search?q=bible+study 9 results, and it even has xiphos. https://apps.microsoft.com/search?query=bible+study&hl=en-US&gl=US They don't give a count but I never knew there were so many video bible studies in the world, let alone the apps.
