Just switch to Linux, guys. You can do it!
Sadly besides freecad all the other CAD programs i use are not made for linux
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.
This is the biggest issue for me. No idea what we can do to get those companies to switch. I think it would benefit them in the future too. Autodesk had that cloud-vm version of fusion for a while, but I'd imagine that was costing them more due to Windows.
said no music producer ever
There are people who work on music full time on Linux.
they have a very narrow and specific set of software tools and hardware devices they can use. the ecosystem is shit, basically.
It's not that bad. Bitwig studio plus ya ridge works pretty good. Also: no Tux no bux
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.
I should mention that yabridge folks are amazing. they are very responsive on IRC and they helped a lot. I think the main developer has pulled off something important here and I have a very high level of respect for what he's doing. i have to put my music before my computer though.
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
yeah, some of the most useful, popular and modern VSTs are unbelievable garbage software
You're almost getting to the point of switching... So close!
As much as I love Linux that’s not happening anytime soon
once DRM and windows-only anti-cheat are no more, sure. but until then, the monopoly is working.
As long as people stay on windows for those reasons, it means it's working. Chicken and egg.
You will never switch. Oh well
Nope. i like playing games and not being in a community which brings up Linux in every conversation
Your right, windows being brought up continually because they did something shitty every day is way better
GNU+Linux *
People having interests they're passionate about is a no-go, eh? What do you and your friends talk about?
Not operating systems...
Not everyone can. People should consider their needs but Windows has programs that professionals rely on.
That's crazy, bro!
