How is the z position determined? Is it with the probe or a fixed endstop? Check that there's no play in those parts.

Sometimes the limits they tell you are wrong. Sometimes they truncate your password without telling you. Sometimes the app has different requirements than the website.

I've used Freecad for a few projects. It's definitely usable, but the learning curve is really steep, even for someone who already knows other CAD. I don't think the workflow/features are there yet for being able to use it professionally in most cases. It feels much more like an engineering tool than an industrial design tool, which is part of why I hold that opinion.

I have not used Librecad. It's 2D, right?

I get better game performance in Linux, but I still use Windows mostly due to CAD software (just like you're saying). I hope those companies see the value in developing for Linux, but I'm not sure the statistics are there to convince them yet. Chicken/egg problem?

That does not sound like trash to me. I can see how those issues with Google connections are problematic for some users, but as the article acknowledges, lineage is primarily targeting people who want to update their old devices. Sounds like degoogling is best done with a different rom is all.

ADB and Fastboot both run natively on Linux. I don't think I've needed other tools since the HP Touchpad days. And that didn't come with Android in the first place.

Most of them are, but there are non UWP apps on there too.

Yeah, this. Freecad does not count even though it's slowly getting better. There needs to be industry tools available.

Looks like there are several, most of which require extra binaries.

Oh I see, thanks. Good alternative to final3_release2.

You mean as a prefix, right?

Same. 3?

Have you tried Eternity?

Oh I meant touch screen. In my experience they do work out of the box, but not quite in the way I expect is all. I'm already dual booting so I could easily test out that stuff.

How's touch though? From what I've tried Linux touch doesn't scroll the way Windows does.

EDIT: It was just firefox I was thinking of. One line added to a config and touch scrolls just fine.

Kog = dog with KDE?

What about other products-as-a-service? And on what grounds? I think it's unwise to use/rely on these services, but I'm not sure how they should be regulated. At a minimum your data should be freely exported in bulk on request.

This is the biggest issue for me. No idea what we can do to get those companies to switch. I think it would benefit them in the future too. Autodesk had that cloud-vm version of fusion for a while, but I'd imagine that was costing them more due to Windows.

Isn't that both a feature and a potential difficulty? I've never used it, but I would think that's part of the appeal for some people/use cases.
