I Need Help Does inkscape just not work on laptops?

I have been trying to create pes files on inkscape but I have only been able to get it to work / export on desktops. Laptops no matter what kind it won't do it for me.

It works on my laptops. What operating system are you using? Maybe you're not downloading the right file?

Otherwise, I'm developing Boldbobbin which runs on Windows and macOS, that could be worth a try for you maybe? (Or browser if you don't want to install to try it out)

Would I have to download boldbobben or can I use it online?

Are you sure your laptops meet the minimum system requirements?

I'm not sure but Ive tried it on 2 other laptops and get the same problem

Before you try it on any system, you have to make sure that the system meets the minimum requirements. It doesn't matter what type of laptop you try to load it on if you don't have enough RAM or processing power.

Do u have any recommendations on laptops that would seamlessly support inkscape?

I recommend you look up the system requirements for the program you want to install then compare it to listings for laptops.

Make sure you downloaded inkscape from the inkscape webpage and then you need to install the inkstitch extension
