It’s not a perfect OS, but it’s definitely pleasant to use.
These days I’m on macOS, mainly because of the hardware but also a few pieces of software that I have hard time replacing (Scrivener and Mathematica).
- ILMostro7 5y agoI know that Mathematica is available on Linux. I wonder how much more would be needed for Wolfram to make a FreeBSD release.
- perihelions 5y agoI think it already runs on FreeBSD. It's in the handbook somewhere: - "Linux® Binary Compatibility" - "Describes the Linux® compatibility features of FreeBSD. Also provides detailed installation instructions for many popular Linux® applications such as Oracle® and Mathematica®." https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/book/#preface-overview https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/book/#preface-ove...
- ILMostro7 5y agoThat's excellent! Thanks for that. I wasn't able to find that exact reference in the docs of the current release (using a mobile device at the moment). However, there is a very useful forum thread for anyone interested. It's not a straightforward install, but it's definitely possible to install/use Mathematica on FreeBSD. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-13-0-runs-mathematica-11-fully-gl-accelerated-nvidia.80361/ https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-13-0-runs-mathema...
- tksb 5y agoScrivener is a gem for sure, but I'm always curious if anyone actively using it has tried Highland? I guess I'm biased as it feels extremely "at home" on macOS.
- messe 5y agoIt looks nice, I'll be sure to try it out! Upfront, I don't think it'll cover all my scrivener uses (it seems to be missing a lot of the outlining and research features—please correct me if I'm wrong), but I'm curious enough to try it for a short story or two.
