DaveS Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Having become totally fed up with Win-Dross stuffing up drivers etc at every carelessly coded update I am considering dumping it and switching to Linux (Probably a variety of Mint).Some software has Linux versions, while others (I think) will run under WINE in Linux. Has anyone tried this with Autoslew and Sequence? If so, with what success? Hopefully the platform agnostic software will be released to us legacy mount owners which will solve these issues.

lukepower Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I tried it a few years ago. The tricky thing is that you also need ASCOM to run under WINE, and also you need access to the serial port or USB-to-serial which is connected to your Linux machine. I can't remember how it ended but I did not further investigated it. YOu might be able to give it a try on a linux computer and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveS Posted January 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Thanks Lukas. Looks like Linux may be no-go as yet, which is a bother as Win-Dross updates ave a nasty habit of breaking other people's software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
