Does the Cricut operate as an IoT device, or does it interface directly with a PC? My understanding is that Wine doesn’t do any drivers or interface with any hardware. | ||

The Cricut maker 3 is USB or Bluetooth. The cricut software is only just usable IMO. Thankfully designs can be done in illustrator and imported as DXF if you're very careful about the workflow. | ||

It depends on how it's implemented. You're correct that Wine can't support kernel-mode drivers, but there are user-mode ways to talk to hardware, too. Wine supports direct user-mode access to USB devices, so if the control software talks to USB by opening the device and directly reading/writing the protocol itself, then it should work just fine. | ||

> does it interface directly with a PC? On the Explore Air 2 I had, you plug it in via USB or talk to it over Bluetooth[0]. [0] https://help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/6581830148759-Blue... | ||
