I just got Pop!_OS, LightBurn and gSender setup today so I haven’t had much of chance to play with it yet. There is a significant improvement in the startup time for gSender, I can tell you that much already.
I focused on getting Vectric working first. Verifying that it worked by making a test file and running it with gSender on Windows to make sure that Vectric was working okay under WINE. Then I swapped the control PC over today, so far all is good. Next I need to setup NFS for sharing files between them. Having Gentoo in the mix without a full desktop package is slowing me down a bit but I like setting everything up just so on my dev/design machine. I took the easy route with the laptop though.
