So I'm trying to run Mathematica. iMac: continually crashes, sold imac lost $400. PC Win10: crash not as much but allot, forced "upgrade" reboots: NO MOUSE when i don't remember a special sequence to keep cursor from being robbed, and many other glitches.

I checked freeBSD because MM is free on Pi3+ if you buy one (great deal if you haven't tried mm yet). Immediately I had XFCE4 had disappearing mouse (this is without mm installed, a qt depends btw). But their main product is released QT for ubunto redhat and i think centos (which is RH binary blob).

Mm4 worked perfectly and much preety <removed> stable in Slackware 7.0 if you had your fonts straight (yes a while ago!). (still, actually)

NEW AND OLD PROBLEM: debian UK/germany admins told me <removed> when I tried to become a contributor years ago. GLASS CEILING. I now find ubuntu admins took over freeBSD and are "putting a stick in that progressing" and YESTERDAY - when I opened talks to get a submission (a stable window manager ie no mouse disappearing) THEY TOLD ME TO <removed>.

I am serious not trolling. What OS?

WHAT OS STILL HAS A REAL 'CONTRIB' SECTION that actually allows contributors to contribute (ie, no maniacle government funded moderators who are cancel culture tell everyone not employed in their cult to <removed> - an OS that actually invites contributors)

Ubuntu - are the corrupt side of debian, huge developements (from china - which is being covered up, and gov funding WHICH i get none of - which is a problem from my perspective *certainly*). Discourage buildign of kernel. Discourage LFS. Encourgae leach kings. I could try it but I feel they'd cancel culture me or even attack me for "just being me".

WHAT OS DO I HAVE A CHANCE IN HELL OF RUNNING MATHEMATICA 12.1/2 on? PREFERABLY ONE THAT ACTUALLY ALLOWS "users to submit ports and contributions" (ie, without some small cult team that tells people to <removed> because they are protecting a maniacal and corrupt code base they are pushing and want to insure contributors cannot override by popcorn popularity)

who is me? wow. thinks software should be bullet proof. don't like "CI continuous integration" I think it means "continual interruptions" of your real work (and think it means: breaks on end user box because it was made in virtual land). and doesn't like work interruptions. thinks hardware should come with a source disk (remind me they don't).

totally serious looking for an OS: linux BSD WIN ?IBM ?SUN ?UNISYS?

I've tried: freeBSD12.2, Win10, Apple's almost most recent OS. debian (db wasted my time and systemd "phones home at every boot to UK" was where i drew the line)

1) is there anything where you can use a mouse (ie, with an app like Mathematica) that doesn't continually crash apps?

2) is there any distro that INVITES people to groups that doesn't tell users to <removed> "they are flies" when they speak of uploading a package, fixing an issue, or joinging a team?

please! can't find either

There are more edits you need to do on that rant please.

To build in what Jefro said, it might help if you were to provide some information about and perhaps a link to this "mathmatica" of which you speak.

Perhaps you need 'Linux from scratch', build your own distro the way that you want it.....

This same OP posted similar rants in at least 4 different threads in this particular forum yesterday.

Lets not feed him.
