Re: Kicad on a Chrome Book


 

Al,

Thanks for responding.

No DE?? What does that mean?
Perhaps "Debian Experimental", so you just stuck with the Kicad 5 that came with "apt install kicad"?
Kicad 6 has some major improvements.

Running Linux on a Chromebook can mean lots of things.
Best guess is you are using their Debian Linux Environment under Crostini.
But you could be using Crouton, or perhaps just rubbed out Chromeos completely
and installed Ubuntu on the machine.? I am curious exactly what it is you are loving.

Yup, LTSpice is absolutely great.
Good to know it works well under Wine on your Chromebook.
I can't think of any other MSWin centric software I would want to port.

I've been using Chromebooks for most of what I do on a computer for nearly a decade.
It just keeps getting better, this weekend the "better" was moving from Crouton to Crostini.
The Crostini Debian terminal with bash suits me fine, cut my teeth on BSD Unix in the early 80's.

Jerry, KE7ER
