The PL8 doesn't (that I know of) have an interface to do the equivalent of it's software on Linux
Dont be sad, linux is crap! A half finished thing that requires a ton of work, and that is like windows was 20 years ago. Or more. Why on earth would you even want to? It may be more secure than windows (depending on config, and user ability) but dont be fooled. Linux isnt secure. Theres crap loads of embedded devices that are hackable and that communicate with each other that have not and will never be updated that are insecure. nd my linux server has already been hacked and attacked on my last 2 hosts on at least 5 occasions since I started sites like this one. My windows host server never needed any help, wasnt hacked or overwhelmed by DOS attacks, in a decade and is much easier to use, but unfortunately it costs more... So no longer used. And windows 7 or windows 10 LTSC with all the crap removed by default, are both the same price as Linux if you can drive a computer. XP is junk, and 1.5 decades old!
