276

OmniChess Desktop is **not officially supported** on the following platforms:
277
-
278
-
-**Windows 8 / 8.1** — Python 3.8+ and modern pygame versions may not function correctly
279
-
-**FreeBSD** — Stockfish compilation and pygame compatibility issues likely
280
-
-**Older macOS versions** — Pre-Catalina systems may have compatibility problems
281
-
282
-
> 💡 **ChromeOS users**: Instead of using the Linux container (which has Wayland, audio, and input limitations), we strongly recommend using the **[Web Version](https://coder787-source.github.io/OmniChess/)** for the best experience.
