Hello, not sure if this is the right place, but here goes. I’m currently involved in automating a wastewater treatment process using a PLC. I’m in need of a SCADA system to control equipment, visualize data, and monitor each step of the process.

I received a recommendation for a Windows-compatible SCADA, but I’m not a fan of Windows due to its slow performance on industrial computers. Are there any free Linux-friendly alternatives or solutions to achieve the same functionality? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

    Just install Gentoo. It will fix your problems.

    Honestly though I have no idea what you are asking. Maybe custom built software?

      Please don’t take the following as me being a dick, I am just genuinely curious. Your response is unique and interesting to me.

      I have no idea what you are asking

      Then why did you feel compelled to respond?

      The rest of the thread is filled with people who know the topic and gave relevant responses very specific to OP’s situation. Many hours before your response in fact. I’m a little perplexed.

      Maybe custom built software

      Any person (with enough budget) could get software built, but that’s obvious to anyone, so it’s kind of redundant to suggest, so why write it given the other responses? I am further perplexed.

      Just install Gentoo. It will fix your problems.

      I take this as humor. OP was looking for software to run on Linux, not a Linux distro. Was that the joke?

      Anyway, I’m sorry if I have come across as critical or insulting. I really am just curious. If I have, and it’s any consolation, if you care to genuinely answer my questions, I’ll give you a short explanation of what OP was on about, if that is helpful to you. I think it was very kind of you to respond to OP, I think I’m just confused more than anything.
