I should’ve used it sooner rather than last year when they announced AI integration to Windows. Every peripheral I tried is just worked without needing to install drivers, and it works better and faster than on Windows, just like today when I tried to use my brother’s 3D printer expecting disappointment, but no, it just connected and was ready to print right away (I use Ultimaker Cura), whereas on my brother’s Windows computer I have to wait like 20 seconds; sometimes I have to disconnect and reconnect it again for it to see and ready to use. Lastly, for those who are wondering, I use Vanilla Arch (btw), and sorry for bad English.
Thank you, that’s massively helpful! Pasting your comment into my ESP32 project notes so when I soon move to Linux I can remember to figure out the udev rule and jtags.
Running this command was the only thing required for me to get access to the com ports. After that, everything worked perfectly.
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER(note that $USER is part of the command - do not replace that with your actual username)
update: after a month of Mint I’ve had no problems at all uploading code to ESP32, and it seems about 50% faster than on Windows. Uploads just work - it’s like a breath of fresh air.
Excellent, glad it’s been working out for you! Thanks for the update.
