Comment on Linux Slicer

It depends on your distro. I have an AnyCubic printer and have to use their derivative of Orca. It only supports Ubuntu 24.04, so I run it in a VM when I need it. There are some weird GTK things with it too. But still functional.

What printer is that? I also have an anycubic printer, and before I flashed it with klipper it worked just fine with regular plain orca slicer.

Orca slicer works okay, but I have the newer Kobra 3 Max and it doesn’t come with the printer profile as of yet. And I still have to use the AnycubicSlicer Next suite to do any remote control. And trying to run it under CachyOS had a lot of visual problems (the Workbench tab shows nothing at all). The command line output is line after line of GTK errors.
By the license, I think they should be obligated to release the source, so if they do that maybe I can help make it less terrible (or at least reverse engineer the remote control protocol).
