    I use Linux on my notebook but given the issues I fight with Microsoft, Linux seems like an entire new set of problems. A wild guess is that porting SSDR to Linux isn’t trivial.

    It is not trivial having many different flavors of Linux. Same with Android. Probably why you haven’t seen anything yet as support would be a chore for the developer.

    A few people have been working on a Linux version. Flex Developer’s Program is designed to give developers the support they need to write client software and apps for the radio. SmartSDR for IOS and MAC were written and supported by Marcus, DL8MRE.

    Simon, NV0E has a working version for Linux right now. It is not ready for release yet, but it is getting close.

    James, you are welcome to do that.

    I am more interested in a Linux version of the CAT and DAX controls than the full version of SmartSDR as I use my Flex6400M from home and barely in remote.
    I need to be able to link different software like Qlog or WSJT-X to the radio without having to go through the terminal commands with SOCAT

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
