freerouting VS Mono

step 1: find a java project you want to compile. For the purpose of this post I'm using this one: https://github.com/freerouting/freerouting

I wanted a wireless crkbd, so I took petejohanson's ultralight corne mod and modded it even further — I added MX/Choc hot socket mounts. I used Freerouting app to wire the PCB automatically. It doesn't look pretty but DRC doesn't report any big issues.

The best thing to happen to KiCad was skidl [1] paired with freerouting [2]. You can spin a board in so little time it's insane. In the future I will be looking to automate even the parts placement too.

P.S. If there is interest I will look to document my workflow.

Running the excellent newly-multithreaded Freerouting under arm64 OpenJDK JRE 17.0.1 makes my 14" M1 Pro produce a whooshing sound that's really quite pleasant.

so far Autoroutering (specifically Freerouting) has never made any mistakes that weren't caused by me incorrectly connecting pins or placing components too close.

In the video you basically install .NET 7.0 SDK with the deb packages from Microsoft repos AND mono deb packages from repos laid out in https://www.mono-project.com/ apart from Unity and VS Code. And then you configure VS Code so that it always uses Mono installed in the system (not Unity Editor's own instance???)

4- Any user-side telemetry would be in the MS .Net framework, which is not used when you selfhost as .net based stuff like Jellyfin use Mono, which is fully open-source and independent (https://www.mono-project.com/)

Did they intentionally name it after a widely used, well known programming framework[1], or did they want to guarantee, I dunno, that they will fly way, way under the radar? I thought it was bad form to name a new programming language 'Cedar', but at least the other Cedar isn't actively developed, unlike the other Mono.

.NET 4.8.1 and earlier do not install on Linux. Unless you want to play around with Mono (your mileage may vary): https://www.mono-project.com/

They have deceived you. https://www.mono-project.com/ I seriously don't know how well wine can deal with newer .NET winforms

It also gained a lot of more popularity and success after the release of the open source implementation of it called Mono.

Hey, I'm working on a C++ game engine in VS Code and wanted to add C# scripting, so I'm trying to install Mono. I already got SDL2 working with CMake, but I'm having trouble setting up Mono because it doesn't seem to have any out of the box CMake support.

Microsoft already has universal cross flatform low level spyware as C# and .NET (which is used by tons of even native linux games, especially made with Unity), mono is sponsored by Microsoft and has telemetry. Wine also uses mono.

And then installs proprietary steam, spotify, vscode and develops on C# for linux with telemetry even in mono runtime...
