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.

may I ask what distro ur using? I tried this and I couldn't get it to run, spent hours troubleshooting

Arch Linux. First on i3, later on wayland with Sway, where I had lots of flickering, so I'd use XFCE (with x11) specifically for Fusion work (so log out and log in with xfce when i wanted to use fusion). and now Niri, which works well enough for flickering, but has issues with fusion 360's modal windows not being in the right place, so i use a Labwc window inside Niri and force Fusion to run in that, mostly because i grew tired of switching to xfce. I would recommend xfce if you want less hassle. Haven't tried with gnome or kde.

Do you remember what issues you had? Whenever i had trouble in the past (e.g. with logging in), i usually found a solution in the github issues (i guess both GH aud codeberg issues now that the project moved)

I get to the fusion360 installation window, when its halfway through it just crashes.

I use arch Linux with cinnamon de and openRC as my initsystem
