I am a hobbyist that is making a few extra dollars to fund my laser habit by doing custom work for a few businesses and acquaintances. I may get more into the money-making side of things as I gain more knowledge and proficiency. I am totally sold on Lightburn as THE tool for managing and executing my projects. It is so powerful that it will take me quite some time and quite a bit of practice to learn the nuances. I am using an xTool D1 10W laser with RA2 Pro rotary and an air-assist as my starting point into into lasering. I am running Lightburn on a Linux Mint machine and on a Windows 10 machine with no issues.
