Questions about Mathematica license

Hello,

I’ve read that on PiOS you get a free license of Mathematica when running on a pi. This is of importance to me as my original plan for the uConsole was to be a gray-zone uber calculator running Mathematica. I’m planning on adding the hacker gadgets upgrade (nvme and adapter board), AC1200, and AIO V2 as well to my 8/64 eMMC CM5. I’m wondering what the best OS is (I’ve heard much about His Holiness Rex’s trixie) and if Mathematica recognizes it and the hardware, which would hypothetically allow for a free license.
Mathematica aside, does anybody know the general pipeline/workflow of what I’ll have to install and what I’ll have to learn myself? I’m sure I could get it in time but I’m just not quite sure where to even look yet.

Powering it with 2x Samsung 30Q.

If anybody spots any glaring issues with my proposed build before this damned uconsole gets here, please enlighten me so I am not destined to failure

it sure does, i just don’t include it in my images like RPi does just to save space as not many people use it. to install it just sudo apt install wolfram-engine
the samsung 30q batteries are pretty good and you shouldn’t have a problem with them, just make sure to get the from a reputable dealer.
