Sadly I use way too many programs that only work on windows or Mac that Linux would handicap me. The free open source versions of yhe apps I use are no where near as capable.

My only option I can think of would be running a virtual machine of Win10 on a Linux install so I can still use those apps.

Would you mind sharing a couple of the names of the programs that only work on Windows for you? I'm a bit curious.

I'm not Tyler Bourbon, but it's Fusion 360 for me. I sound like a broken record at this point, but it's the only piece of software that keeps a windows install in my house

Hey Autodesk you should put F360 on Linux

FreeCad is getting much more capable, have you tried it?
