You can also buy it as a DIY kit, or simply reference the components list and instructions, and use the firmware, drivers, and software shared.

    You’re right, there are more Linux users in such communities. How foolish of them to only cater to 95% of the population!

      Based on my experience Linux and Mac OS are more or less on par with Windows in the maker community with Windows’ popularity rather decreasing than increasing.

      Catering to 95% of the population is one thing, but a DIY lasrer engraver doesn’t cater to a very large market share of Window’s users. I’d guess this might cater to maybe 3-5% of windows users and that’s being generous as hell. On the Linux side this caters to quite a few users as they tend to want to make and support open source. Just my two cents though, have a wonderful day on purpose!

      Yeah! Why design a product that caters to your target demographic instead of designing it for people that won’t use it?

        Well they probably designed the product for themselves, not anyone else, because that’s usually how open source works. No one goes and writes open source that they aren’t going to be able to use, that would be idiotic.
