I want to ditch windows so bad, but I can’t run any autodesk products on Linux atm… Revit, Autocad… Sad noises
What I do is dual boot Windows/Linux and have them share big NTFS partitions for bulk data they can both access.
You could try getting autocad running?
github.com/…/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux#fusion…
But TBH, neutering Windows down to a “software tool” to the point I could wipe it and not really care, and spending most of my desktop time on Linux, has been wonderful.
Ugh. Sounds like a lot of work. I’ll think about it
Depends how familiar with disk partitioning you already are, but it’s generally not that bad.
I guess this is the thing with Linux, at various levels it skews DIY and more time intense. And honestly the market seems to be bifurcating between that and the opposite extreme: Android/iOS, which many use as their main PCs now.
I’ve ran windows and linux side by side in the past. It was OK. I just wish the big names would get on board already (Adobe, autodesk, etc)
Reject Autocad, embrace FreeCAD.
Haha I would love to. But I would have to get all my teams - and there are many - to switch. I also tried FreeCAD. It’s OK for hobbyists but it’s unusable for architecture… C’est la vie
why for architecture?
It’s not streamlined, fast, or integrated well with other platforms/programs. Most of all, our adjacent consultants need to work in dwg. The whole industry pipeline is built around Autodesk products unfortunately and they own the market

Install atlas os and dual boot linux as your daily driver. Honestly linux experience is what you think windows experience is and vice versa. Windows is just insanely bad now. I haven’t touched my psu power button, done anything close to using reg edit or have a bsod equvilent just from playing a video game since I moved to fedora.

Not familar with AtlasOS… Interesting. And all Windows-only software works natively on it?

Its a stripped down windows 10, that’s all.

Is this a better alternative to going with bazzite or garuda? Or will support be lost once ms moves to win 11 only ? I love linux but I am worried I won’t be able to game or use vr (quest2) without a bunch of work. I play a lot of racing Sims, steam games which I’m fine with, but my friends do play pubg which I’d have to abandon due to the stupid anti cheat. I’d like to not have to dual boot but I may have to for vr…
