Is this 3.3+ (or 3.4) compatible?

Both are compatible.

Somehow it fails with a cryptic message when I try to enable the addon on Win 11 x64.

Will you support Linux in the future as well?

As I’m not Linux maintainer I don’t know about Linux OS. Maybe someone who can helps will fork my repo for other OS releases. But I don’t know about it.

Is Luxcore still alive? I stopped using it more than a year ago, whwn it seemed to have hit a development wall.

Do you know if it has instancing (like the particle instances or the geonodes instances) support?

I think yes maybe?

Will Luxcore work with vulkan? OpenGL is deprecating. Or will another solution be required?
