IS this over?

Open bsvdoom opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Last release was 3 years ago, last commit was 9 months ago. As I see there is no active development on this project anymore. This was a great software, but it did not withstand the iron teeth of time as it lacks many features like nvidia and wayland support.

So I think who seeks an alternative software should check out Luciferin I will also try to migrate to that, and thank you for all the hard work, @psieg!

I confirm that Luciferin is the natural upgrade from Prismatik. I loved its ease of use, full support for Linux / Wayland, the ability to use Flathub and Snap store, its responsiveness, full multi-monitor support, and the possibility to drive multiple satellites. Not to mention that the automatic firmware upgrade is a fantastic feature.

I love Prismatik, but I need to be sincere: there is really no reason to continue using it, especially considering that its development is over, while Luciferin is progressing rapidly.

Lucifer does not support very well-known hardware such as Arduino boards, so it is not a natural upgrade for many people like me. It still works fine for me so I don't have complaints about it but is always good to know that there are new parallel projects that could sometimes support other kinds of hardware.

@fernandojconti You just need to replace your old Arduino with a more modern and powerful ESP device. ESP devices are very cheap, and they are almost an inplace upgrade.
