Setting up rig control was a bit of an abortion and it defaults to having the squelch function turned up to 11 do nothing decodes. While I much prefer HRD and everything integrated into the one program group, fldigi does work, installs fine and does what it claims it will. Just remember to add your user to the DIALOUT group or you will be raging at the screen because it wont access the USB serial port, HAHAHA. But, if the install goes smoothly it works fine out of the box, if not, its a pain in the arse,Ĭant complain much about this, installed fine, no real hassles, detects the right USB TTY ports in use. I fought with this for a while until i worked out what the actual problem was and that mariadb was a broken package that would not install its dependencies. Install can be hit or miss with broken dependencies if something has installed myslq rather than mariadb. Interfaces with WSJTX, uploads to LOTW and EQSL etc etc. So what software am i using?Īs far as logging goes it does most of what you want. But most things can be achieved one way or another. Coming from windows using Ham Radio Deluxe, you will be disappointed. So the software, most things you would want are available in one form or another. I hate APT because it seems to want to break things all the time, but so far, I have only had apt break a couple of times and were easily fixed. That said, I am using Mint, a ubuntu derivative with Xfce desktop only because its the path of least resistance. If you are a total dummy and do not know your way around linux its going to be frustrating unless you know how to install flatpaks, compile source and install dependencies, because not all distros have all the software you might need available in their package manager.ĭebian and Ubuntu derivatives have the largest software repositories but, I hate debian with a passion and ubuntu uses gnome which feels like pulling teeth to use. Is it any good? Is it ready for prime time and as a daily driver desktop OS? Yes, but sort of.
