Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

The 3D printer doesn't support a plain serial interface via USB? I believe most can accept g-code over it and most slicers can serve it? Been a while since I was using non-Klipper printers though

    FlashForge AD5X using FF's Orca Slicer, which has better support for their IFS, and for which there isn't a Linux build. The printer is in a different room, so running a dedicated cable isn't a viable option (and would regardless still fall into the "inconvenience or compromise of using Linux")
