The latest PrusaSlicer versions require OpenGL 3.2 and my machine only supports OpenGL 3.1.

Anybody knows if other slicers can generate gcode or bgcode files for Prusa printers? If so, which would you recommend?

OrcaSlicer distributes an aarch64 flatpak with their regular releases, but I'm unsure what version of OpenGL it depends on.

Thank you for pointing it out to me.

I installed the flatpak and it works just fine! I'll have to check if the gcode files it produces actually work okay on our printers, but so far I'm pretty happy with it.

Also, I like that OrcaSlider has features to defeat Bambu's privacy invasion nonsense. I don't have a bambu printer myself so it doesn't concern me, but I like the developers' attitude 😃
