 (2) **Mac OS** as the native OS is for some reason (see below and more in [Motives](#motives) of this post) **not the preferred** platform to run the program, even though in theory the program could be translated by Rosetta and run on Apple Silicon. 
 
-The general issue with Mac OS mainly originates from [the lack of support for 32-bit software since Mac OS Catalina](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208436). With that, programs with 32-bit components will not run on newer Mac OS. *Without setting up a VM*, another very elegant walkaround to this is to run the programs in [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/overview/) containers with the desired platform and architecture.

With that, programs with 32-bit components will not run on newer Mac OS. Another reason for Linux being the preferred platform over Mac (or Windows) is the differences in [multiprocessing](https://www.pythonforthelab.com/blog/differences-between-multiprocessing-windows-and-linux/) on different platforms. With that, the current major version of ADFR/ADCP seems to perform (a lot) faster on Linux than on Windows.
