  Please tell me more about your setup. Solidworks is the only app that holds me back from full switch to linux. I never tried windows vm in linux, hows the performance? What distro are you using? What vm? Version of windows and SW?

  CAD on linux is far behind proffesional tools unfortunatelly. Even SW 2008 is amazing, but FOSS will need another 10-20 years to reach that level Im afraid

    PC specs:

    i5 7600 Nvidia Titan Xp (recently upgraded from RX 580, solidworks worked the same) 28GB RAM OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Virtualbox Virtualising Windows 10 SolidWorks 2018 (older versions worked fine too, i didn’t try new versions but i dont see why it wouldnt work)

    Until recently i dual booted, theres not a big difference in performance.

    I recommend putting both Linux and Windows on an SSD
