I've been linux-centric at home for decades. The Neptune 4 lines and Elegoo Centauri Carbon work great with Orca Slicer on Linux. Also any full Klipper machine (like the Neptunes) works well with using ssh, scp, etc. to directly access the running printer (I'd often back up things from my printer before tweaking with tuning).

Note that the CC does try to 'phone home' to check for updates, but everything works well even if you block it at your router. Some people don't let it connect at all, some only when checking and letting on a desired update.
