For anyone having problems running Mounriver Studio 2 in Linux

[2nOrderEDO]

Hello everyone,

After upgrading from Fedora 41 to Fedora 42, I encountered an issue with Mounriver Studio 2, which is based on VS Code. While I was able to open the IDE, most of the buttons related to features implemented by the WCH team stopped working. I suspect the issue lies with their internal plugin, which seems to be incompatible with some of the newer libraries.

I found a solution by running Mounriver Studio 2 inside a Docker/Podman container, which works far more efficiently than, for example, running the Windows version via Wine.

I’ve outlined the steps to set this up in my blog post here: https://eulerprecision.com/troubleshooting-mounriver-studio-2-not-working-on-fedora-42-ubuntu-debian-and-other-linux-systems/

Feel free to let me know if this solution has been helpful!

In a similar thing, I run it on a laptop running Ubuntu 24.04 but the laptop always has the lid closed and I actually use it from an M1 Mac.

`ssh -X` works but very very slowly, and if I exit and try to run it again (or even leave it idle for a while) it fails and I have to start a new ssh session. `nomachine` works much better.
