The bottom line is, I agree with what Mansfield said on here a while back. ![]() I installed Linux Mint on the bare metal of an iMac and tried to use it as my daily OS, then I personally spent over $1,300 on a System76 notebook to try using Pop!_OS as my daily driver (I recently sold my System76 notebook to an Accordance user). I gave Linux a serious evaluation last year. ![]() Other major Bible software developers, and even many popular free Bible apps have a web version, so it makes sense that Accordance Cloud is an area we need to venture into. It’s one way on getting a version of Accordance onto various platforms without producing a native app for such platforms. There’s simply not enough Accordance users who would run Accordance natively on Linux to justify development expenses, especially development expenses that need to go toward Accordance on Mac, Windows, iOS/iPadOS, Android, and Cloud.Īccordance Cloud, once released, will be one major option that will allow Linux users to access their Accordance library and study the Bible on Linux, as well as any other device with a web browser (ChromeBook, etc). The amount of Accordance users who run Accordance on some form of Linux machine (in a Windows VM on Linux or Accordance 10 under WINE/CrossOver) is pretty low at the moment. It’s not a matter of “can” (bringing Accordance to different platforms is technically possible), but it’s currently a matter of “user base”. Now I am waiting for Accordance 14 fixes, and then the Cloud which will really be a game changer for me. The nice thing is I can see both desktop environments doing it this way so I can go from one to the other without missing anything. Everything else is done on the Linux side. I do not log in on anything, or access the net for anything on the VM. The onlything Microsoft has to see is I have Accordance. I do not change anything, add anything, adjust anything so it is bland. This allows me to use my web mail, my net searching, my Libreoffice for writing and notes, and then the fourth for Accordance in the VM.Ĥ. Three for my Linux operation, and one for the VM only. Make sure your system can handle the extra load as my old laptop took an hour to just download a smallish file.ģ. Make sure you set enough space to run the program.Ģ. There are a few little things I would suggest:ġ. I am running Accordance off a VM on PureOS. So as not to derail the forums, DM me for any questions on D, ![]() ![]() Off Topic: For those who are absolutely wanting/needing a Linux machine, I’m parting with my System76 Linux notebook that runs Pop!_OS. I’ve successfully used some of these before to make Windows a little less chatty when I used to use Windows (I’m now Mac only). DM me and I can send them to you, or post a message in “Windows Wisdom” asking for them if you want them. In terms of Microsoft’s “spying”, I have some support articles on how to disable some of Microsoft’s telemetry features in Windows 10/11 if you’re interested in them. It won’t be feature-identical with the desktop version, but you’ll at least have your library there. That will be one way to read your Accordance modules and perform some Bible study tasks on a Linux machine, ChromeBook, etc. Then you could use Linux for the times you want more security/privacy, and use Windows when you have to run Accordance or any other non-Linux apps.Īccordance Cloud (our web-based version that’s still in the works, but will likely launch sometime in 2023) only requires a web browser. I have a forum thread on here where I tried Accordance 11-13 on CrossOver, and it was a no-go.Īccordance can run in a Windows VM on a Linux Machine, or if you dual-boot Windows and Linux on a machine. Accordance does not run natively on Linux, and chances are no matter what eschatological position you hold, Jesus will likely return before we’d have a chance to produce a native version of Linux.Īccordance 10 can run “decently” in WINE/CrossOver on Linux (I tried it), but even then the experience is clunky.
