No K4 user will ever have to use -- or even see -- a Linux command. The embedded computer is there to make things simpler, and the operating system will not be something you need to be conscious of. That includes software updates.
Any internal "apps" (advanced software functions) will be 100% vetted by Elecraft and a team of intrepid pre-testers before it appears in a software update package. You'll know you have a new function available when it appears on a switch selection or in the menu; you won't have to explicitly install it. Think of the K4 as a Hybrid SDR for Non-Nerds (tm). You can stay focused on exploring the bands, working DX, and experimenting with new modes. 73, Wayne N6KR > On Nov 27, 2019, at 12:38 PM, stephen shearer <sm.shearer...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Yes, that would be nice... > > What I want to see (for ALL) utilities is the ability to load into Linux > without having to compile the utility (I understand .deb files) > Many Linux users are NOT geeks.
