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 have yet to have any success with Bottles but I assume it's because I don't know what I'm doing and I'm trying with software known to be difficult.

I remote into a Windows PC for Fusion 360 and Affinity suite but if I could get those working on Linux I'd be in really good shape.

Fusion used to work but autodesk changed the redirects in their login system, so it no longer does...

Tragic. Especially since there's no reason Fusion couldn't be a webapp or PWA, autodesk already made it annoyingly cloud-focused.
