Comment on "You should probably just throw it away"
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 week agoWhat 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?

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)
