CZUR makes interesting scanners. They are currently listing a new model "CZUR ET MAX" on kickstarter. <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/czur-notebook/czur-et-max-the-unprecedented-professional-book-scanner> They claim that it will support Linux. But then we bought an ET24 Pro from them because they claimed it would support Linux. Unfortunately, it only supports Ubuntu. I bet that will be true of the new model, even though this isn't disclosed in the advertising material. <https://www.czur.com/support/et24_25pro> We wanted a scanner that didn't require rebooting to use it. Switching from Fedora to Ubuntu and back isn't better than switching to Windows and back. I guess they could have used a flatpack or snap, but they don't. I've suggested it to them but I got no response. In any case, the software is not open source. Is it easy for me to run this software on Fedora? - I could run Ubuntu in a VM under Fedora but that feels way too heavy: a whole extra distro installation - is there a way that I could package their stuff ans a Flatpak or Snap? Any other ideas are welcome.
