Still no flatpak, but somebody is trying again!
- There is a flatpak but it's not published to flathub https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/tree/main/flatpak
  
  I did build that a few times and I'm the beginning it worked but now it crashes for some reason. Thanks for the pointer though!
I love it, but I'll be honest I still use Cura for 99% of my slicing. Just too used to it, and since my printer isn't controlled from the PC and I copy the gcode onto an SD card, it makes little difference to me except that Cura feels more organized in its UI.
- I used to agree, but once you go Orca you won't go back. Sure you have to kinda figure out the workflow but it's just better IMO. All the settings you use in Cura are there, plus a ton more clever settings and features.
  
  I might be biased because I use an MMU. Their way of handling colors is so intuitive and clear.
  
  How different is orca from prusaslicer? Orca was built from prusaslicer right?
  
  Orca has it's charms for sure. I really like the scarf joint. But PursaSlicer still gives me the cleanest prints. But it's drifting away from my trusty old and well used Mk3s+.
