I’m wanting to move my main machine over to Linux, but I’ve heard mixed things about Orca Slicer working with Linux. Can anyone give any advice on either having it work or a Linux alternative with similar functionality?

    I just installed orca yesterday! The appimage mostly worked, but it wouldn’t actually slice. I removed that, and found it in AUR, installed that version, and it’s been working great. It doesn’t support my printer, so I can’t print directly, but I can save the stl file and then copy that over to print. I made a small plaque yesterday and printed it, and everything worked fine. (Garuda Linux, Arch derivative).

      There is a Flatpak as well which is working really well. I had some issues with the app image in the past
