anycubic i3 mega-s, cura 4.2.1 and Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa

Bought myself a Anycubic i3 Mega-S. Not sure why, probably ramping up to a midlife crisis or something.

Downloaded the Linux version of Cura 4.2.1 from Ultimaker.

Printed a few things from thingiverse. Learned enough Freecad to design simple brackets, screws and clamps.

Spent the last few days trying to make Cura see the printer from Linux. It turns out that the solution was very simple, at least on Linux Mint 19.1: all I had to do was to add my user to the "dialout" group and then restart the X server and log back in to Mate.
