For some reason I didn't consider there was already an official Bambu Studio fork for Linux, so I had installed the Windows version under Wine... It was so glitchy and could not connect to the A1 printer. This Flatpak version works swell! It threatened to force quit twice so far, but I think that's just my system running too many things at once anyway. Otherwise, everything works, and I can finally print from my computer instead of manually copying files to the mini SD card. :)
Useless. Apparently it's primarily designed to only work with their hardware.. It expects me to enter codes that aren't in my printer screen's GUI(Qidi Q1 Pro). IDK what the point was of selecting your printer on startup, since it won't work anyways, unless it's bamboo that is.. Off to the rubish bin with this.. Also, it forces you to select a filament on startup, but it doesn't even have crealty.. I'm pretty sure a lot more people use that than their name brand..
