Might work even on some newer, but I never bothered to test since Ivy Bridge laptops and rigs are so cheap and powerful. Don't know how well Mr. Macy's newest branch works on newer machines, never got to testing it because I've so many other projects I am working = on. I'd be fine with FreeBSD as desktop if any of the full feature browsers worked properly. Currently both Firefox and Chromium have stability issues, and the rest of the browsers work even worse. Well, except for Opera, which is now obsolete. I would like to fix these issues if I could. Thus far been only able to send PRs. On 3.1.2017 8:14, Zane C.
