Just to let you to know that I have been able to get ZaraRadio working on a few Linux distros using wine. All the variations were using Ubuntu as its base. I found a real light version called free10-x64-20240604 which is a win 10 theme and all so a win Xp theme freexp-x64-20241123 . The only version I could get Salamandra to work on is Linufx. It is a win 11 theme but it all so has a win10 theme as well. ZaraRadio works on it as well.
Interesting. I've tried experimenting with Linux a few times but always ended up shrugging it iff. I just found it unappealing, I guess I'm more inclined to stick with what's familiar (as I've been a Windows user since 3.1). What is it that makes Linux a better way to go? I don't quite get the idea of going out of the way to make a Windows software compatibilitle to run on Linux (with wine or whatever), when it's so much more straightforward to simply use Windows since it was designed specifically designed and optimized for.Windows.
I know I must be missing something because it's not uncommon to see people gravitating towards Linux - despite the fact that it's actually Windows software that they want to run! - But I never really grasped the point.
Thanks, but I would only be using Linux to run the SDR server. I'm basically tired of running emulation to make software targeted for another O/S run.
I also want to make some software changes to the User Interface (accessed via a browser). Currently, you can toggle the spectrum display (momentary view of the frequency spread), but you can't toggle the waterfall display (which takes up most of the network bandwidth. It would be much easier (or at least possible) to make those changes, and build the application using Linux.
