@nolasco Take the third position of having both a Linux and Windows machine within arm's reach at all times. That way you can do Linux shit or Windows shit by swiveling your chair a few degrees.

i've essentially kind of done that, only i'm trying to use my linux laptop to run this engraving software and keep it next to my engraver so i don't need to constantly keep switching rooms from my bedroom with my desktop to the spare room with the engraver. i tried zorinOS and ubuntu based off google and the program doesn't launch in either wine setup i tried

@nolasco So this is the red pill that FOSS spergs don't want to take: if you have any real equipment of any kind it will not work on Linux. You need to use Windows for that shit. You will spend the next 50 fucking hours fiddling with wine only to get it to kind of half work, sometimes. If you're using your computer for anything that translates into something in matter world, Linux is not your operating system

@clora @nolasco They had to spend untold hours getting the system into a state where the CNC machine would accept Linux instructions. Half the features the CNC machine has probably don't work on Linux because they aren't a "standard." To get the CNC machine to do any of the fancy non-standard things that it can do you need to install some special bloatware written by the manufacturer for Windows.I've been down this path a thousand times and I done seent it. Here's how to calculate how many hours it will take to get real hardware to work on Linux: 2^j hours, where j is the number of times the Stack Exchange Linux sperg uses the word "just" (as in, "you just need to...")

@clora @nolasco Whenever this topic comes up I always have an image in my mind of some overworked emergency room doctor hooking up a gunshot wound patient to a machine that was manufactured 25 years ago, and only works on Windows ME for some bizarre reason, and as this doctor is trying to save this dude's life, there's a Linux sperg standing next to the doctor, lecturing him about Richard Stallman's peculiar definition of "free" software.

@nolasco @NEETzsche Wine is just a software compatibility layer, it doesn't know how to direct the output from an emulated driver (if any) to a hardware device, because the emulator is agnostic about the hardware unless you have a kernel-level linux driver for your engraver that wine can deal with. And if that driver existed, there would probably also just be a linux version of the software you're using.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating @Yellow_Heart @NEETzsche @nolasco ill be fine seeking employment lol, that's not something i'm worried about. salient concern is just seeking fulfillment, bc (again trying not to doxx myself) i'd like to apply the ideas i've worked w/ in my research to open a consulting firm someday. i know a guy who runs a company that does mostly defense stuff using applied categorical reasoning, & while the background is different a similar business model appeals to me, bc it gives them freedom to do infrastructure-building internally & then apply that in practice while also giving steady income from contracting model. definitely a long way off, & maybe i'll end up taking a different direction in life—but i've got options, and i want to make the right decisions to keep them open.

@clora @Yellow_Heart @NEETzsche @nolasco Oh, the way that people who are serious about research outside of academia tend to do something like this:1) You get a job2) You stack cash3) You build a lab4) You go on sabbatical5) You do your research on sabbatical.6) You get hired so that you can use corporate affiliation to publish the paper.7) Repeat4 is optional if you're especially hard-working, or if your research eats more passive-time than scientist-time.

When you’re talking about industrial equipment, it’s usually interfaced with a non-Internet connected computer running Windows NT 3.1 or some other meme version of Windows. And there’s always some bizarre reason why it won’t work with anything else. This is the case even with light industrial equipment.

In this thread I just keep picking random versions of Windows nobody uses out of a hat to stress my point on this topic. Earlier I posted an example of an emergency room doctor using life-saving equipment that requires Windows ME. You have no clue how real this shit is. People like to bitch about “IT guys” who just memorize rotes to keep the machines running like Adeptus Mechanicus, but these people are immensely useful and we just can’t get rid of them. And we shouldn’t be disparaging them for that reason.

There are zero security problems because they have to physically break into my garage to “hack” this.

You can reduce the complexity of this task by skipping steps 1 and 2 and install Windows. You need to make a real argument for using Linux in this context and so far you haven’t.

i know you're trying to help and i appreciate the help you and others have given me so far in this thread. it's just i've spent about 16 hours fiddling with trying to get the thing to work in wine and just want an easy solution that involves downloading less things

When it comes to industrial equipment and sophisticated equipment (medical equipment, 3D printers, engravers, etc) it’s unironically just best to go by the guidelines they set instead of fighting those guidelines. Trying to install Windows in a VM and do a bunch of USB passthrough shit is the definition of fighting the guidelines.

@roboneko @NEETzsche @nolasco yeah dual boot is a pain if you actually plan to use both systems. who wants to reboot to run a separate command. Running windows in a VM at least you can just tab out of the windows window back to linux when you are done. Seems worth the effort to try and get it running in a vm. If it won't work in a vm or figuring out the hardware passthrough is too much falling back to dual boot is always an option, albeit IMO a suboptimal one.

i mean, i might do that at some point in the future. what you're saying doesn't sound like a terrible thing to figure out for me to understand at some point. i want to figure out how to do all the things you're suggesting (easy or hard) with my own home lab setup. for right now that sounds like a time investment and i'm sleepy and tired so just gonna go with the easy option. in the future though who knows i want to learn how this stuff works i'm very ignorant about how all this works right now which i want to fix

WSL and vmware is pretty decent, reality is you’re limiting yourself on obscure operating systems if you need specific software

WSL is decent I guess. I use it for work.

@n3n3tl @roboneko @NEETzsche @nolasco I haven't used WSL yet but I hear it mostly does what you'd expect. I have a mac for work, but the main thing I use it for is code editing and ssh to linux machines where the real work is done.

@nolasco @NEETzsche not to run software that requires direct hardware access, that usually fails. I do have to say I'm impressed with how wine has evolved the last few years. Gaming on linux works quite well now, so maybe in a few years, there will be a stable way of accessing peripheral hardware better...
