If I’m to set up a Linux machine to do local development, what’s the best dist to use for Freesewing? The laptop that I just found under a good amount of dust is running Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Thanks.
I’m not an expert in Linux, but I think any distribution should work?
If you are able to log into it, you might want to experiment with that laptop (as-is with the OS that’s already installed there) to see if you can install Node and FreeSewing. Like a practice run before possibly installing any new OS.
I think most should work fine. I’m personally using Fedora Workstation.
I’ve worked on FreeSewing on Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and RedHat. It doesn’t matter, they all just work

Okay, progress.
I upgraded my Ubuntu machine to 22.04, the latest LTS. Updated Node on it to v20.19.1. Installed SSH on it.
Then created a new fork on codeberg, created a fresh devon branch, cloned it to my linux machine.
Opened VSCode on a Windows laptop, opened a SSH host, and connected to the Linux host.
Inside the VSCode terminal I can run the npm run kickstart and npm run studio commands, and the studio is available on localhost:3000. After npm run add, I can have a new devon design with a pretty box.
Source Control in VSCode seems to be picking everything up fine too.
So I’m up and running again. Just not from anywhere in the world, but i think I can cross that bridge when I feel like it. As long as I’m in my house, everything works as it did on gitpod.

I uploaded the code I had in v3, and that mostly works in studio. Some weirdness I’ll have to figure out, but it is not holding me back from working on the code.
(I don’t see any of my parts by default. Only when I explicitly select them in Core Settings)
(Parts don’t have names in the Core Settings part selector. Everything is devon »)
(I had to remove the explicit reference to seatFront and waistFront in measurements)
