Many of the popular Linux distro’s only include ‘KStars’ …well some of the ones I have previously installed.

Another popular Linux distro was ‘Distro Astro’ (no more support/updates after release 3.x or 4.x) The .ISO can be still be downloaded if you want to give it a try as well.

..its a truly impressive distro with a huge range of the stuff available for Linux astronomy at zero cost - if enough people used it (and the update was fixed) then it could be a fairly good way of future-proofing obsy set-ups against changes in Windows.

Just saves you the hassle of downloading and configuring a whole set of astro products on top of Linux. 🙂

Downside is you might get a whole bunch of products that you dont use/ need.

Hi,

I'd like to know too as I have installed it yesterday and it still has the same problem. 🙄
