## Common questions

### Where do I get the Linux build of Bambu Studio?

The Linux version is provided from GitHub, and you should check the latest release notes.

### Can I expose remote print control and monitoring from my own server?

An open-source project can use the LAN-mode API so you can control a server, expose authenticated access over a VPN, and print or monitor remotely. It was described as still needing polish and as avoiding SSDP discovery issues.

### What should I try before reinstalling Bambu Studio on Windows?

Clear all Bambu Studio user data, confirm the plugin and cache folders are fully deleted, and temporarily disable any firewall or antivirus that could block plugin downloads.
