firmwares for 3D printers
So, this will fix the issues with Linux users who need to dual boot Windows just because they need 3D printer support? That's one of the big issues I've heard people complain about besides competitive video game anti cheats, so that's huge news if so!
Nope. Firmware for 3D printer is the thing that actually runs on the printer itself. It has to be realtime because you can't have interrupts or some oher things stop your printing for a second...
Nope. Firmware for 3D printer is the thing that actually runs on the printer itself. It has to be realtime because you can't have interrupts or some oher things stop your printing for a second thus Linux becoming realtime OS could then be used on such things.
I run Linux on desktop and I 3D print. It's not the smoothest experience, but it works really well.

I had no idea that there were plans to mainline realtime support. Pretty cool.
