@alcinnz “I use Linux as my operating system” is technically not correct, as Linux is not an operating system unto itself. GNU/Linux is not an operating system either, but rather a *kind* of operating system. “Linux-based system” would be more correct, although it's still a *kind* of system.

Linux-based systems have their names! Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Alpine, Guix, Parabola, etc.

@niconiconi If you're not using any advanced MATLAB features, you can use GNU Octave instead! It's supposed to be compatible.

@matrix Wow, you really did a full-blown ad to promote your layout change.

“I will add that anyone who tells you that [insert fully free distro] does not run on their computer, is most likely mistaken or fibbing - [same distro] will run on most computers. What that person is really telling you, is that 3D graphics is more important than software freedom.”
