Comment on IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default.

  At minimum, we would need AutoCAD, Microstation, and Projectwise. We also need these exact programs as our clients require our CAD submittals to be in specific formats.

  We also need Bluebeam Revu for other client coordination.

    Linux?

    (Thanks for the serious reply but I was just doing the “username checks out” thing)

      I know, but my response sparked further discussion so it’s cool.

    AutoCAD

    It’s always funny with 3d. Graphics? You need Houdini? Of course it runs on Linux, it’s a UNIX-native program after all, first version ran on IRIX because what else would you use for 3d work but a SGI workstation and Linux is the commercial successor to IRIX. Blender, the same, just 5k bucks cheaper (and not yet everything is nodes, not yet). CAD? Everything’s suddenly windows-only because… how the hell did that came to be? Were they running 1990’s CAD software on Excel machines?

      Neither Autodesk nor Bentley had a good economic reason to develop in Linux. Those companies also spend a lot of money on major clients to produce tools for them, which they then force all contractors to use.

        I mean back in the days they should have been running on IRIX, and SGI switched over to Linux when they made the switch to x86 CPUs. Plenty of movie studios switched over to Linux workstations because of that, porting from IRIX to Linux is trivial compared to porting to Windows, why didn’t the same happen with CAD?

        Wintel-PCs for the longest time just weren’t suitable for 3d work, they were office machines.
