Dual boot is an option, but I would go with 2 machines, one with Windows with only the Autodesk products and the other with Linux and all the other software.
I was thinking this too. Might get a second desktop and set that up
I'm a freelancer and a lot of my work apps require Windows or Mac. However, I remote into my company's work machines, but the remote client doesn't work in Linux so I have a lowered speced machine just for work, and my personal rig is much more powerful and running linux.
Even if I was freelancing completely with my own machine, I would prefer to have two seperate machines.
Im leaning towards two separate machines as well. I think that's the route I'll go in the end
