Yes, the learning curve for bash is steeper than clicking a .exe . But once you learn to chain jobs with ; , run background processes with & , and monitor htop , you will never go back. Gaussian 16 Linux
If you are a computational chemist, the phrase "segmentation fault" triggers a specific kind of PTSD. For years, running Gaussian on Windows was the default for many students, but ask any high-throughput researcher: Linux is the native habitat of Gaussian 16. # Extract to /opt or /home tar -xjvf G16_AVX2
