Hello Darius,
Honestly NO. Maybe because I got used to Windows problems with Siemens problems. I would like to point to another problem beside what both UMENCHOand IBN-Servicehave already mentioned.
First I would like to comment on UMENCHO's words. I believe that Siemens is going forward in software as well as in hardware. I believe they are working very hard on software likedigital factory and Automation designer. Here comes another big problem which is openness to other systems and other softawre(s) like ERP, MES,CAD,EPLAN and many other things. So, even if Siemens could manage to put all Siemens software(s) on Linux, they would be still facing problems integrating with other software(s) (that are not running Linux). So,Maybe they think it's better investing more money on making more powerful software(s) that are widely open to other industrial engineering tools than investing money to turn their software(s) into Linux. So, that was my opinion.
Maybe generally yes but industrially, I don't think so. I'm not trying to defend Windows but I've seen plants running with SCADA that's either based on Windows 2000 or Windows XP and they have been running 24/7 without problems for many years. So, I'm not exited to Linux my work. Best regards. H-H |

Hello, It is possible to do the following with Linux TransferTool, but not program like TIA Portal.
It's more like SIMATIC Automation Tool. Transfer tool - the tool which supports the user when commissioning, servicing and maintaining SIMATIC devices https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109782475 Ordering data Single license Article No.: 6AV6676-6LT00-3YA5 Floating license Article No.: 6AV6676-6LT00-3AG8 Linux Transfertool manual 4.14 Supported OS The following Operating Systems are supported. • CentOS 6 and higher • Ubuntu 16.04 and higher • Debian 9 and higher • openSUSE 15.0 and higher Have a good day!
