Specifically for Windows vms without a GPU passed to it, VMware tends to do a way better job at least in my testing

Looks like drooping to me, I would see if lowering nozzle temp improves/solves this

I agree with this, for anyone at even a beginner level fredora is pretty great! I’ve used it many times for hosting servers, it’s pretty reliable and isn’t going away any time soon

My best guess is maybe the instance went down

I would consider them essential upgrades rather than essential parts, since they are competely optional and aren’t required to make the printer functional!

There are endless amounts of upgrades for printers this is barely touching the surface!

I still rock my cr-10 v1 only changes I’ve made, added cr touch, added second z lead screw, added creality direct drive extruder, added a pi with octoprint, replaced all fans with noctuas including the control box, added dampeners on all steppers and replaced the original glass plate for a textured glass plate

Thing still prints like a dream, and more accurately than the 30k$ printer at my work lol

So I would say yeah upgrade it, it’s worth it

Would have sworn yesterday you made a lengthy post saying you switched back to windows? What the hell happened in 14 hours?

I used Manjaro for about 3 years

Its great but packages tend to break over time with it being a “stable” arch build

Over that 3 year period updates managed to break my install at least 30 times

Switched to Endeavour over a year ago and haven’t had an update break my install yet

You’re welcome! Glad I could help!

Only things I can think of are that your hdmi or dp cable is out of spec, or if you are using a thunderbolt dongle/dock maybe the ports on that are out of spec
