Looks like the other three aren’t natively supported though.

Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 7 months agoSuuure, let me know when Revit, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, OpenRoads Designer are operable and supported on Linux.

A bunch of our civil engs happily use qGIS.
I’ve noticed Ala lot of the features on ArcGIS actually originate from qGIS after having built some mapping tools.
Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Ah, I didn’t know that about ArcGIS!
Still, the others are arguably more important to the civil industry as a whole. I personally don’t believe Autodesk or Bentley will ever support Linux, so us civil folks are stuck.

Not many users need those.
Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I have 800 users at my work that would say otherwise. Those are software that the entire civil engineering, geospatial, and architectural world rely on to make infrastructure. So, I’d say many users need those.
1984@lemmy.today 7 months ago
Yes but it’s relatively. I have 800 users right here that doesn’t use any of that stuff. Just saying it’s not really a block for 99% of users because all they do is surf the web and play games.
Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Over a hundred million people use Autodesk products. Entire essential industries are built on these software. Pinning that all on 1% is disingenuous.

A professional place will certainly have requirements that differ from the common people.
Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yep. From my point of view, it would be nice to at least have to option to switch users over. Tired of Microsoft’s shit.

Every person with a job needs someone of app which doesn’t work on Linux. If you’re a teen still studying in school, then yeah, use Linux.

I use Windows at work (it is a corporate laptop) but I don’t use a single app which is Windows-only and irreplaceable. My current job isn’t technology-focused, and I don’t really use anything except standard office-related software.
In my previous job I was a software engineer and also used Windows (same reason; corporate laptop) but again everything I used would have worked in Linux.
People should use whatever platform works best for them. I’m a Linux user at heart, but I’m all for using Windows if that’s the right tool for the job. But it’s not a “grown ups need Windows only teenagers can use Linux” thing. Most working people would do fine with Linux or Mac.

Only these? What about league of legends, valorant and Visual Studio?
Lemonparty@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I knoooooooow. I know arcgis is working on it at least. I’m a geologist, a ton of our geospatial programs require windows.
But I’m about ready to experiment with a dual joot for my home set up! I really never need windows for that anymore
westyvw@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Postgis and Qgis don’t require windows. ArcGIS is such bloat ware. They live by the cult following rather than merit.
Lemonparty@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I mean yeah, same with adobe and loads of other enterprise software suites. Unfortunately, most of us have no way of convincing our enterprise to move off of their shitty suite. I personally use open his for as much as possible, but professionally I’m stuck with what my work makes me use.

How did you get arc working on Linux?
Lemonparty@lemm.ee 7 months ago
See @applebusch@lemmy. world’s comment in this same chain.

Portal isn’t ArcPro :s
