You’re four forks deep now Slic3r to Prusa Slicer to Bamboo’s slicer to Orca. It also borrowed a lot of ideas from Super Slicer. Since it’s open source, and has been gaining some momentum, it seems to have a decent amount of contributors

- all the features you know and love from things up the tree
- a revamped UI
- built in tuning tests (temp tower, extrusion multiplier, volumetric flow, pressure advance, etc)
- great Klipper integration if that’s your jam
Or random application availability and/or ease of use.

Things are certainly better now than they have been in the past, but if you’re somewhat time limited (eg your computer is more of a tool than a thing to spend time tweaking) Linux can still be a bit offputting - especially if some of the core applications you use aren’t officially supported.
