Sadly besides freecad all the other CAD programs i use are not made for linux

Just switch to Linux, guys. You can do it!

This is my biggest frustration as well. I usually use Onshape because it’s browser based but it doesn’t support a 3D mouse sadly.

I’m guessing programs like that are too complex for WINE?
Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Nope. i like playing games and not being in a community which brings up Linux in every conversation
Rapture@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Your right, windows being brought up continually because they did something shitty every day is way better

People having interests they’re passionate about is a no-go, eh? What do you and your friends talk about?

once DRM and windows-only anti-cheat are no more, sure. but until then, the monopoly is working.
Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As long as people stay on windows for those reasons, it means it’s working. Chicken and egg.

You will never switch. Oh well

As far as gaming goes, no you really cannot. While a lot of progress has been done, notably thanks to Valve’s efforts with Proton, it’s still not ready for mainstream. Anti-cheat software incompatibility, peripherals drivers unavailability and overall jankiness are as many hurdles that make it interesting for tinkerers, but unrealistic for the general public.

That’s crazy, bud!
goes back to playing my games, doing my art and enjoying my computing experience
NeryK@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Yeah well, some of the most popular games in the world like Fortnite or Valorant cannot be played on Linux. Hell even Roblox which used to work was broken for 6 months this year due to a new anticheat (until it got fixed).
As for Xbox Gamepass ? Streaming only. Using a Thrustmaster wheel ? Fortunately someone is working on that, but not everyone is willing or able to build and load their own drivers into the kernel.
Setting aside potential “hurr hurr don’t play these games” comments ; there is no way around using windows if you want access to all PC games, not just some PC games.

Hmm wasn’t really an issue for me at Hi-Rez as a graphic designer, but yeah keep drinking the industry standard Kool-Aid!
kurcatovium@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It HIGHLY depends of what gamer you are. I switched to linux almost three years ago and all the games I wanted to play worked (nearly) flawlessly. But… the thing is I play mostly single player ones and usually a bit older. So for me it was huge upgrade. I got so mad over Windows so many times during last months of usung it at home, BSODs for no reason, forced updates disrespecting my settings, …
Redrum714@lemm.ee 1 year ago
As much as I love Linux that’s not happening anytime soon
guywithoutaname@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Not everyone can. People should consider their needs but Windows has programs that professionals rely on.

That’s crazy, bro!

said no music producer ever
lemmyvore@feddit.nl 1 year ago
There are people who work on music full time on Linux.
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Sure, and my mechanic was working full time from his yard before buying a real garage with a lift. Just because some people go through the trouble of doing it doesn’t mean it’s the best tool for the job.
lemmyvore@feddit.nl 1 year ago
I’m not sure I understand how your analogy fits. There’s no heavy lifting involved. 🙂 Everything works and it’s ready-made – otherwise people wouldn’t use it at all. There are also lots of distros specifically tailored to audio and studio work. Naturally, there’s some things to learn but you also had to learn things when you got into audio and presumably you keep up with the industry so there isn’t a big difference.
Check out /r/linuxaudio, lots of resources in the sidebar and very helpful community.
the_q@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The best tool for the job is the tool you have access to.
nutsack@lemmy.world 1 year ago
they have a very narrow and specific set of software tools and hardware devices they can use. the ecosystem is shit, basically.
PlexSheep@feddit.de 1 year ago
It’s not that bad. Bitwig studio plus ya ridge works pretty good. Also: no Tux no bux
nutsack@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I produced an album doing exactly this. the windows VST plugins with yabridge run like shit. not all of them worked. bitwig and reaper are fantastic though, and are great examples of what linux audio could be. unfortunately I am often using tools besides the daw and its built in features.
PlexSheep@feddit.de 1 year ago
Yeah, some vests are just crap and too locked into windows to be usable. Personally, I’m a computer guy that also does music (through I’ve been to busy from studying), so I won’t bother with something that is not Gnu/Linux
the_q@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You’re almost getting to the point of switching… So close!
