Yes I am dumb normie. Who has set up for doing things a certain way. I have my cnc plasma tables, my 3d printers and cnc mills. They are essential to my business. I need to be able to run the cad programs, communications and links. I have spent alot of hours already establishing this, learning how to do this. I don't have time to re learn all this because I "should switch to linux" I don't have time to learn new cad programs because the ones i use aren't Linux friendly. Many of us normies just don't have that spare time to go through the process. I just need something that I know will work.
if it's controlling something like a CNC machine I can see why you wouldn't wanna fuck with it, but there's probably computers in other roles that could go linux. start with a raspi and get familiar with things. you can get one for $15
