    Comments about GNU Octave as an Alternative to MATLAB
    Comment summary: GNU Octave is praised as a free and compatible alternative to MATLAB, supporting similar syntax and nearly all MATLAB scripts. Users appreciate its integration with Linux via Flatpak and note that it often runs faster. While lacking tools like Simulink, Octave is highlighted in Andy Ng's ML course and is suitable for students needing numerical analysis capabilities. The active development and excellent documentation further contribute to its favorable comparison with MATLAB.

    Linux Desktop integration is perfect. There is a flatpak available. Installing Matlab on Linux is a pain, even more if the license always vanishes. So far it looks good, and if it supports lots of commands, no way I use Matlab!
