Title: Ubuntu or OpenSUSE
Post by: ams_nanolab on April 12, 2016, 10:31

Does QuantumWise 2015.1 run on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS/  Ubuntu 15.10? I saw the posts http://quantumwise.com/forum/index.php?topic=2727.0 and http://quantumwise.com/support/faq/item/627-vnl-problems-on-ubuntu, that it has problems on ubuntu platforms.
What would be a good desktop linux environment for ATK?
I am thinking of Ubuntu/ OpenSUSE, which is better for running QuantumWise ?  ???

Ubuntu works fine, it's the platform we mostly use in-house. There may just be a few libraries or settings you need to tweak, as explained in the links you refer to. But SuSE should also work fine.

You could also consider Linux Mint, which is based on Ubuntu but has a different desktop environment.
