I've been using GIMP and doing RASTER PNG files, importing them in to Design Space and using its importer to fix things so I didn't have to deal with random lines and swirls in the. The downside is that these can really go odd when you import in to DS if you have an even slightly advanced SVG file (swirls, grades, text (not supported, has to be converted to a path!), etc). If you want to work primarily in Linux and then only do the print/cut in the Windows VM then use Inkscape to generate. In the end I opted for Virtualbox, you'll need guest extensions (free from the VB website) to get USB 2.0 support, Windows 7 as base install and FireFox as the browser of choice.ĭo yourself a favour and remove practically everything possible from Windows to lighten the load on your system and speed everything up. 2020 Oct 27 If you're brand new to Cricut, first you need to download and install the Cricut Design Space program onto your PC Learn how to install the software you need with your new. Cricut Design Space automatically accesses your system fonts each time you sign in and allows you to use them in Design Space projects for free.
I spent a lot of time getting it working. You cannot install any other app aside those in Microsoft Store since you are using Windows in S Mode, you need to switch out to install Cricut Design Space.
You cannot even use Design Space in Chrome or Firefox without the plugin. I have a Cricut Explore and under Linux it is exceptionally handicapped.
