Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I knowww I know save your forks and torches but I'm in the middle of a fully 3D printed homelab project and I can't afford to start learning FreeCad just yet.

Everytime I even begin to think about using windows on my second laptop makes me kick and scream, its genuinely vomit inducing and its keeping me from finishing my project.

Thanks for the tip. Just watched a bunch of 1.1 tutorial videos and it actually seems like it could be a better workflow for my use cases than Fusion, plus it also does BIM.

I'm nearly at the end of my journey to boycott Adobe and Autodesk for good. I dropped 3dsmax for Blender a while back after Autodesk attempted to audit me. They demanded I download an app that would collect detailed information about my computer, so I said go fuck yourself, uninstalled and canceled my paid subs, then downloaded Blender and besides missing V-ray and Forestpack, has been a much better experience.
