I’ve moved half my toolset to free and open source alternatives. I’ve ditched Adobe which has a monopoly on the entire market. Sadly, there are no alternative BIM/CAD tools that can take on Autodesk (yet).

I was thinking this too. Might get a second desktop and set that up

Thanks. I am a freelancer but I depend on the platforms my clients work with.

Can anyone give recommendations on what to do if you have to run Autodesk products (Revit. Autocad) for work? No, I can’t swap them for open source alternatives such as FreeCAD as Im working with large international projects. Should I dual boot? Virtual machine inside Linux?

Maybe but I doubt it. The user base is so small. The sophistry from the echo chambers seems to propagate itself really well. I don’t know. There’s something bizarre about the same comment being repeated day in / out. I’ve been on Lemmy for a few years and it’s like nothing has changed

These people live in memes. They don’t have a clue what’s happening in the real world imo.

I’d be careful with this one. Being verbose in non-fiction does not produce good writing automatically. In my opinion the best writers in the world have an economy of words but are still eloquent and rich in their expression

I need autodesk for work so I’m setting up a 2nd box I can remote into. I looked into virtual cloud environments but they are too expensive

Give Darktable a go. I switched from LR to DT a year ago and im never going back.
- Comment on List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs 5 months ago:
Been usin DT for close to a year now. I agree the learning curve is a little steeper than light room but once you get it, everything clicks into place. I can’t believe how powerful this program is and it’s free. It’s unbelievable

I’m curious how DaVinci resolve’s fusion page compares?

You beat me to it. The moment someone makes a FOSS cad program where the ui doesn’t suck a donkeys ball they will be the goat

It my personal experience I found it all extremely convoluted… And I like gdpr
- Comment on Europe’s GDPR privacy law is headed for red tape bonfire within ‘weeks’ 6 months ago:
GDPR is a good goal, but the implementation is hell. There has to be a way to make well intentioned policies not turn into the nightmare fuel that it inevitably always turns into.
