Note for Linux users (AppImage)

If the AppImage fails with error loading libfuse.so.2, install FUSE: sudo apt install libfuse2t64 || sudo apt install libfuse2.
If the app can't reach the serial port (GRBL/grblHAL/FluidNC controller), add yourself to the dialout group: sudo usermod -aG dialout $USER, then reboot — logging out alone is not always enough.
