The problem is not with Linux itself but with the way the programs are
distributed. Almost all software depends on a LOT of external libraries
and these, in turn, depend on others. And worse they depend on some
version of the library. Linux distributions come with many of these
libraries pr

You can do it without Windows at all.

A very interesting discussion. I have delved into Fusion 360 plus a number of
other packages but I still revert back to Turbocad as it is quick and does
what I want. All the work I get is 2.5D. If I was making assemblies, then 3D

My claim about Windows from the beginning in the 1990's was that no one
ever bought Windows because they wanted to run Windows. They bought it
because they wanted to run MS Office or some game or some other software
that requires Windows. Or, I guess another reason is they bought it
because i

Almost all of this Windows BS goes away if you run Windows in a VM.The
easy and secure way to run Windows is to first install Linux (or use Mac OS
if on a Mac) and then a VM and then Windows.Then it does not need video
or wifi drivers and you can snapshot the new Windows 10 install and late

Docker and appimage basically rely on packaging as many libraries as
possible and hoping for the best. Even then if you rely on newer
versions of libc or libstcc++ than your target distro you are SOL. If
your application relies on C++11 or C++17 features you can't just build
it on an old system
If you have Windows 7 or 8 installed you can upgrade for free. Find the
gatherosstate.exe file on the Windows 10 disc or ISO. Copy it to the desktop
and run it. Copy the genuineticket file it creates somewhere off the computer.
Now you can erase the installed Windows and do a clean install of 10

But how much does a Windows 10 Licence cost? It seems to be around
£189 (for a full retail rathe than OEM version)
Actually, Fusion already runs on a Linux machine, Make a VM with Window 10
in the Linux computer then put Fusion on the VM. It runs very close to
native speed. I was able to get an older copy of Mac OS to run on the VM
under Linux but it was not practical, only useful for saying "look at this"
I second that. Eagle used to be the only one that was stable and had a
decent library. Then KiCAD gained a source of development funding with
CERN (yhe European physics lab) and they added some paid developers
and KiCAD "took off". They leap frogged Eagle in only a couple years.
But Eagle was
