What software are you using on linux to interface with serial? I always used screen but it seems there’s probably a better way?

Screen. Most of the time saved is not having to try to install whatever bizarre serial driver windows needs.

Also python if you need to programmatically connect and operate a device over serial. Quite easy.

Yep, screen is the easiest. Minicom often gets confused, or at least confuses me with its weird UI. With screen I just run "screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200".
