No autodesk, but if you have the budget you can use Siemens NX (version 12 or before) on Linux. They have install media for SUSE or RHEL. I found it more performant on Linux than the W10 install

Nope just maintainers that I can't verify their identity, not asians in general.

We live in a mixed bag of skin colours here, I have no issue with people...just CCP and their infiltration of their officials into Canada... that are harassing citizens and Permanent residents of chinese descent.

I realize that this era makes it difficult, but that is why I would be cautious in projects, like Rustdesk dev was obfuscating the chinese location, and blobs, so I have removed that. My phone runs GrapheneOS so things are sandboxed, my home electronics are either totally blocked from web access, or certain IPs restricted. And of course Canada US would try to compel, but we have more transparency here than CCP shinanigens. I'm just saying, everyone blindy installing Ventoy that has more blobs than source code, and possible mainland connection should not be

if you search Chinese Police Canada (or USA) there are tons of articles that are way more in depth, and describe encounters, etc.

I added that link so people don't think I'm making it up when my friends house is getting door knocked by two CCP police.

It does not directly relate to Ventoy, it relates to why I would not trust a chinese product as we have first hand witness here in Canada of CCP harassing residents or forcing them back to china. There is that much control, even when they don't live in China, that if CCP wanted to have widespread spying they would just pick a dev with family in the mainland.

Canada had investigated and started to shut some down here. they had actual office front building setup as Chinese police station. Smaller places it was decentralized Chinese pokice. Downvoters should read the news links https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/rcmp-chinese-police-stations-1.6862336

Read my other reply in this thread you will see why/how CCP oversteps boundaries, and why you don't trust blob code you can't verify

We have chinese police here in Vancouver (edit Non Canadian force), if residents speak badly about CCP these "Police" show up at the door and try to coherce them back to mainland. I'm not regurgitating the articles, my friend living in vancouver had them show up. I'm not trusting blobs.

It seems it is a product of modern western style culture. Move away from family for independence, spend best days of life slogging away to live paycheck to paycheck.

I worked with a few filipinos that immigrates to Canada. While the believe Canada is a good place to live, they mention the lonely culture here. They said in the Phillapines every weekend, or sometines day, was a party with friends or family. They always made up a party to celebrate something.

I think we have forgotten that communty village living is what humans evovled to, and yearn.

Another Filipino said canada is great, but everything needs money. Housing is expensive, food is expensive, cars, and all the bills. He said back home we live more simple, no need for a heating bill because of climate, no need for a water bill. If I want water I drill a hole in the ground. So life is about living not earning

I don't recall having issues with firefox. Was there anything specific?
