Adobe, OK. SolidWorks? Nah. NX is a higher-end CAD solution (costs more though) and runs on RHEL or SUSE

Dadifer ,

Yay! SolidWorks was literally the last thing keeping me on Windows

Edit: Um, why does the Siemens website say it only supports the license server since 2020?

CuriousRefugee ,

I miss NX. My company uses SolidWorks, and it’s…okay, I guess? But I’m aggravated on a weekly basis because it doesn’t do something that NX could. But cost is the issue. I think you can get like 5 SW licenses for the cost of a single NX one.

Adobe works pretty good on another non-Windows OS…

Where Linux?

Precisely.

This is a negative space meme. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_space

hemko ,

True, but Linux memes being 50% about macos/windows gets tiresome

Anarki_ ,

I don’t want to dual boot, mainly because of the risk of Linux randomly eating my Windows install.

wfh ,

Windows randomly nuking the EFI partition is very much more a reality.

Anarki_ ,

So it can go either way, they can both eat eachother?

Does this happen even if they’re on separate harddrives?

wfh ,

I’ve never heard of Linux destroying a Windows partition unless there’s a blatant user error.

I’d be more worried about the windows bootloader deciding to overwrite grub

Ive literally never heard of that. Windows can overwrite grub/your bootloader though (easy fix, just boot into a live usb and reinstall grub).

If Linux eats your Windows install that’s a serious bug. That means it’s overwritten data on a drive that’s not even mounted, without you directing it to do so.

Anarki_ ,

Disclaimer: I’m not knowledgeable about the “under the hood” things on Linux OR Windows. I’ve just heard it can happen and really don’t want that for myself.

But I guess anything can happen…

Dual booting is still using Windows.

(I’m not saying dual booting is bad, I’m just saying it doesn’t count as not using Windows, which is what most Windows users are opposed to, not to dual-booting with Linux.)

I used to pride myself in Linux uptime on my desktop. Went without rebooting for months at a time. Back then, I wouldn’t let myself dual boot

Fusion360 is only software I use that I cannot get running on Linux. So my wife’s last macbook now lives to play Tidal in our garage and run NoMachine so I can remote into it for Fusion.

Cris16228 ,

Windows 11? I have Windows 10 in dual but using Linux only, I just don’t want to remove everything even if Windows is shit… I’m only disappointed there’s no Affinity Designer on linux :( I know it’s full of alternatives but I like the UI and I’m used to it

Different tools (or even preferences) for different people, you know…
