Linux support?

Recommended Posts

I have had about enough with Windows and I am seriously considering just going full Linux and just find the best workflows I can with Linux compatible software. 
I did a search and I found some threads talking about GOM Linux. Am I right in thinking this was an actual linux distro or operating system? I can't find any information on it and no mention of it after like 2021. 

I have found other links suggesting Zeiss Gom Inspect can run on Linux, and other Zeiss website links talking about UMESS? For Unix/Linux? And another promoting FOSS software. 
It seems like Zeiss/GOM has a lot of close ties to Linux but I can't find confirmation, downloads, or info on a current Zeiss/GOM inspect for Linux. 
Is Zeiss/GOM inspect available on Linux? 

If not has anyone had luck running it on WINE or virtual desktop or anything?

Fun fact 😛

There was a UMESS-LX version long ago. It was end-of-sale in 2005 and end-of-support in 2010. Surprisingly late in my opinion :classic_blink:

No Linux versions of anything on the horizon since then.

Short answer to the original poster: There was a LINUX version for the GOM software decades ago running on a modified Linux distribution (sometimes called GOM Linux). But development was discontinued somewhere in the area 2011/2012. Since then only a Windows version is provided and supported.

 

Sorry for this.

It would be really great if they reconsidered going to Linux. Windows is horrible and just getting worse. 
It boggles my mind that professionals are okay using an operating system that will just update and reboot even if you have unsaved projects and apps open lol. And that is just one little thing that sucks about Windows.
