[Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version

[Bill]

This, sadly, is the downfall of Linux. Nothing is easy! Linux mainstream 
versions such as Ubuntu and Mint are great systems - I run Mint dual 
boot with Win 10 here. That said, I use the Win 10 side for everything 
to do with my K-Line. I am spoiled, as are many others, by the ease of 
installation/operation of the software I use on a regular basis.

Further, some software I use is not replaceable under Linux. There is 
nothing up to the job available.

Wine is not the answer, as many Win programs will not properly run under 
Wine/Linux - if at all. Recently, there is also a problem with Wine 
itself - as being discussed on various Linux forums.

Personally, I would much prefer to run Linux 100% - for various reasons 
(mainly security). That said, until Linux is made much more friendly to 
the new user and the available software library drastically increases, 
it will never be more than a very minor player at the user level. Linux 
is, however, a major player in higher levels.
