I’m wanting to move my main machine over to Linux, but I’ve heard mixed things about Orca Slicer working with Linux. Can anyone give any advice on either having it work or a Linux alternative with similar functionality?

PrusaSlicer still works on my 2012 Asus laptop on Ubuntu 22. Use it weekly.

Prusa also works on my nixos 25 machine.

Almost definitely gonna be fine.
