Linux users?

But there are no instruction about how to install the driver for Linux.

Thanks! When I unzip the file that's on the installer CD, I get a huge list of items (too much text to post here). Below is a partial list, hopefully the most relevant items? ... I don't know what to do next ...

Maybe a Linux user here can help: I bought a USB WiFi adapter for use with the PC I recently converted from Windows 10 to Rocky Linux 8.10. The USB WiFi adapter came with a CD which contains drivers for Mac, Windows, and Linux -- including instructions for how to install the driver for Mac & Windows. But there are no instruction about how to install the driver for Linux. When I put the CD in the CD drive attached to the Linux machine, I can see the directories that contain the Linux driver (in a ZIP file). But I have no idea how to install the Linux driver from the CD (I've never installed anything from a CD under Linux before.) Newb-compatible assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There should be an automated GUI way of doing it. Similar to navigating to an exe file in windows. Except in will be called setup or install. Can you see and browse the CD in your Linux file navigator?
Otherwise, you'll have to manually install it through the Terminal. It's not too difficult, I don't remember or understand all the commands, but there should be plenty of stuff on the web you can follow.
Not sure if this will work https://www.google.com/search?clien...ntpr&q=how+to+install+Linux+programs+from+CD?

So I've been slowly getting the hang of darktable. Still got an absolute stack of things to learn, been playing around with manually drawn masks, nothing too fancy, but making progress. I think. Not booted into Windows for over a week now I think.

Edited out the top aerial on the top of the mobile tower on this shot. Nothing groundbreaking or earth shattering, but progress

There were a few gradient masks involved in this one, took a long time to get where it is, still need to fine tune the sharpening. I still quite like the result though. Managed to get some nice 3D pop to the clouds
