Don’t bring that to their attention- they’ll start banning open source too.

I tried FreeBSD many years ago (back when I was on dialup and bought a book with the FreeBSD install CD included…).
At the time it was interesting to tinker with, and I did use it as a dual-boot on my Win95 computer, but I moved on to Linux when Knoppix came along.
At the time linux seemed more end user friendly.
Maybe I should spin up an install just for nostalgia sake, and to see where it’s at these days.
It’s also on the cusp of a major upgrade release, so good documentation of the latest version’s features will be in high demand very soon.
Multiple TB when setting up a new server to mirror an existing one. (Did an initial copy with both together in the same room, before moving the clone to a physically separate location. Doing that initial copy would saturate the network connection for a week or more otherwise)
I’d expect Apple’s move to be followed by a lot of creators adding a “Don’t use the iOS Patreon app”
I’ve already received similar posts from a couple of patreon accounts I follow.
The only reason I paid for Lightburn in the first place is because it’s the only even slightly mature laser software that supports Linux.
Given this news, what are our options?
LagerGRBL seems to be open source, but nobody packages that for Linux as far as I can tell.
And I wasn’t able to find anything else when I was looking last year.
What was the last version of Windows you used before hopping on over?
Windows95
I got sick of constantly dealing with the BSOD.
That’s so bizarre.
In my country, only police can look up a licence plate, and only on official business - cops have lost their jobs for looking up friends, family and ex-girlfriend’s licenses.
I think it also depends on the locale.
When I look at both Kijiji and Facebook marketplace, I see far more listings on Kijiji.
We’re Watching Facebook Die
It’s not happening fast enough.
I didn’t say it wouldn’t work for me, only that they make it hard to get here.
It would be cool if they sold the thing in (or were willing to ship to) my country…
Lightburn for controlling laser engravers.
It’s pretty much the only choice on Linux (though it is cross platform). Free 30 day trial, then ~$80 lifetime licence.
The other choice is LaserGRBL, which is open source, but doesn’t seem to have a Linux port for some reason. And it has a lot fewer features, with a more complex workflow.
it will just crash on you before you even find out
Older versions may have had issues with that, but I haven’t encountered any crashing in over 2 years. (And I i do 6 youtube videos per month with it)
Better late than never.
Now look at how much the executives are being paid in the US compared to the cost of the vehicles…
It ain’t the welders and wrench turners who are adding the most to the cost of vehicles.
The world doesn’t need an EV Mustang or $99K F150, it needs an EV Focus or Escort oor Fiesta level car that normal people can afford.
Look at the date of the linked RFC documents…
The last windows I had on my home machine was Win95.
Embrace the penguin.
My kids didn’t have any problem figuring out how to do what they wanted to do on a Linux machine, it’s really not that hard to move.
I was about to say something similar.
I suspect that people in their target market not being made aware of it is part of the problem that is leading them to shut down.
