- Mention a few non-supported modes (FreeBSD, WebAssembly, PyPy) by name so they come up more easily for someone searching for them.
- Fix typo (missing "be").
- Downgrade confidence that Qiskit will work on other platforms
- Expand reference to CPython

My main motivation here was to get "pypy" into the documentation so it would show up in a search. In Qiskit/qiskit#11822, I even linked to this page about operating system support to say that I only saw operating system support discussed when really it did mention only supporting CPython. I added FreeBSD and WebAssembly as what I thought would be the other "odd" cases that someone might actually wonder about. I wondered if the section should be using "platform" instead of "operating system". It discusses both CPU architecture and operating system for the most part but also includes the mention of Python interpreter (and whatever WebAssembly is...I guess a "runtime"). That would be a larger change, so I didn't do that here. |
