Hello Klaus,

Recently I wanted to try Next on linux to see if it even works. To my surprise with the latest kubuntu, my cheap usb TX was detected by the Next sim PnP.
The graphics looks great, but slow fps. Using the nouvoue graphics driver I have the monitor set @ 144fps, unfortunately the Next Simulator only runs @ 30fps no matter what settings I use in Next.
I won't be using linux, I just wanted to see what Next looks like in linux, which is the same as in windows. Anyways just giving some feedback, next has great potential in linux.

Thank you
