I use fusion 360 on windows 11 for work. Then i come home to my linux and it feels right
Windows 11 is awful i hate the UI the ADS and spyware. I debloated as much as i can but i need fusion for CAM/CAD.
I bring my lenovo laptop with debian 12 incase i need to do something other than CAD.
Why cant autodesk port the POS to Linux
Its like asking would you rather be hit in the knee with lead pipe or a baseball bat.
At least on the business side, you have macbooks that can run fusion 360 that are uber expensive and the hardware is soon obsolete. Or windows with adware and enshitafaction.
I really hope large software companys pull there heads out of there ass’s.
I do alot of laser cutting in my free time and it hurt when lightburn (a commercial product and great software) supported linux. I installed rocky linux and installed lightburn and havent had to deal with it since. They gave it the axe because they were remaking the software and linux wasnt large enough for development.
Which really sucks, im forever stuck on version 1.7 as its the last lightburn version.
I wish autodesk would just make a native linux version! I love purpose built software, have a watch, it tells the time. Have a thin client that runs the laser. Any they all do it so well, i know the opensource community is working really hard for freeCAD. But coming from fusion 360 is such a steep curve from workflows.
I wish there was a better modeler for FOSS.
And i feel like the demand will grow, i mean windows 10 is EOL soon. And i have converted 4 people from windows to linux. I spend some more time teaching them about its underworkings and how to fix things.
I feel that 4 more to the pile of linux users will be good for the long term.
Out of curiosity have you tried running it in a Wine/Proton environment? I’ve been able to utilize Steams “add non-steam game to library” feature to then enable proton compatibility on simple windows programs.
Only gripe I have is with file-browsing in this scenario.
People to some point have gotten fusion working in a half baked state. Bottles has an installer for it. But all the mini windows float over windows regardless of tab. And gpu acell doesnt work for the most part.
I wish it did work because i very easily could switch to linux at work but fusion 360 is the bread and butter of my job. (Yes ive tried freecad, i find it hard to use compared to fusion)

Have you tried to run it on Wine?
I mean, Fusion 360 even runs in a web browser (although it was unusably slow for me). It should be possible to port it to the Linux desktop.
Home users doing it is bad enough, but why the fuck is any business tolerating ads and spyware distracting their employees‽
