Can anyone give recommendations on what to do if you have to run Autodesk products (Revit. Autocad) for work? No, I can’t swap them for open source alternatives such as FreeCAD as Im working with large international projects. Should I dual boot? Virtual machine inside Linux?
Linux good. AI slop bad. Reddit bad. Fediverse good. Star Trek good. Tankies bad.
Good morning, just waking up and I’m sorry for taking out how tired I am of the repetitiveness of this platform sometimes on you.
Yes you should dual boot, but to like 95% of people it doesn’t matter so maybe just running windows won’t be the living hell this place makes it out to be.
I don’t know why there isn’t a bigger lemmy circlejerk community it would be full of gold. I need to stop sorting by everything and join more smaller communities I guess.
I mean, switching to Linux was nice even from win 10 that doesn’t even have a bunch of the BS from win 11. Using windows already sucks and has for a while.
And why are you posting about what 95% of people care about? The people posting here about it care. Do you walk up to random people on the street to tell them most people don’t care about what they are talking about?
Plus this commenter was even specifically asking for advice about how to get away from windows, so you’re whining about a common circle jerk in a thread that isn’t even that circle jerk.
I feel most replies have never used those products and are recommending options which just don’t work well enough imo. I have a VM for Fusion 360, but it’s really not fast enough for day to day use. Things like wine just don’t work. You’re gonna have to suck it up and either dual boot, or run a VM with GPU passthrough to get hardware acceleration in your VM.
Maybe you can split your GPU for a VM but I haven’t figured that out yet
Edit: if you do dualboot, you can put all your stuff on a separate partition (documents, downloads etc) and share that between the systems so you always have access to your stuff

Winboat, for when you absolutely have to use something Windows based on your Linux machine.
