SDR++ on Mint?
Ah, I see what you mean, it's been a while since I looked at their repo. They don't seem to have one for ubuntu jammy yet in their stable release branch. But they do have an ubuntu jammy one in their nightly builds https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus/releases/tag/nightly. I did give it a go and it seems to work okay, but obviously you would need to try it more thoroughly than I have.
- Using direct sampling on Android Tablet! SDR++ is out for Android!!

Can someone explain how this script bypasses CPU architecture incompatibility?
What incompatibility? Do you think that this code https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus doesn't support ARM?
- SDR++ is a cross-platform and open source SDR software with the aim of being bloat free and simple to use.
- Alternatives to soapyremote/CubicSDR?

Update on my NOAA reception adventure
Some software tips. There is a newer version of SDR++ that includes an IF filter for NOAA APT signals that should help improve things: https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus/releases/tag/nightly That gives you a new checkbox under the Radio section called "IF Noise Reduction" with a dropdown to select the type of reduction (where you select 'NOAA APT'). You can also use the "Decimation" option in the Source section to give a bit better SNR. From what I've read you get a 3db reduction in noise every time you double the decimation level. If you can't get rid of the noise around 137.1MHz maybe try going for NOAA 15 or 18 since those are at higher frequencies, hopefully away from that noise.

Does anyone know how to install/build the Python Hamlib bindings package for Windows? There seems to be limited documentation and the package is not available on PyPi. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.
What computer programmer level are you at? So are you wanting to compile them yourself or just get them installed anyway possible? Easiest way would be for You to download the precompiled binaries for windows here: https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib/releases/tag/4.5.5 . I haven't used windows in 5 years or more, but installing the .exe files should work for windows. Uou can also install python libraries using pip, but I cant remember how to install pip on windows.

Practically all modern (20–30 years or so) rigs you'll ever encounter are controllable from Linux. https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib/wiki/Supported-Radios
