I think I remember people saying they got it working with this

That being said, stuff like Fusion 360 changes quite often and even if it works now it might break compatibility with the future update.
FreeCAD has come a long way since with the 1.0 release and the 1.1 release also has lots of good quality of life improvements.
While I'd like to know the same, I'd also recommend reading their EOS page. You have time to switch over.
**What does end of support mean for Windows 10 and Fusion?**
Fusion will continue to work on Windows 10 after the 14th - however, Autodesk will no longer consider Windows 10 for validation, bug fixing, and product support of future releases. Application compatibility and support will not be guaranteed for this platform for releases after this date.
After exploring options such as Fusion360 and SOLIDWORKS I ended up making a free account on onshape. It's web-based and works flawlessly on Firefox and Linux. I should try a bit more FreeCAD, but lack motivation.
OnShape is just waiting to be enshittified
Freecad has gotten much better with the recent updates.
It's UI is (obviously) different than fusion, but so are other CAD programs.
Sure, it may not be at the stage where it could be used to do 100% of the mechanical and electrical design on a jet helicopter, but how many people need that level of complexity for their projects?
Better, but it's still pretty shit.
Drop autodesk. I've got access to autodesk products as an educator, and I've used inventor for years, but I have only had FreeCAD on my system for months. I have not found myself being unable to do anything I could do in Inventor.
I've had issues with FreeCAD being less performant and freezing or crashing when trying to make more complex parts.
Fairly rare though and I've been able to work around it
Tbf even solidworks crashes when designing complex assemblies
As much as I hate AutoCAD, Fusion360 is the only option for serious modelling and fast prototyping.
In what context? I personally find NX and SpaceClaim to be as good or better in both of those aspects, buuuuuut no home gamer is going to be able to afford either.
Fusion360 has been rated Silver on WINE (windows compatability tool) so you have a decent shot of running it. Silver means "couple of minor bugs, might need tweaks to run but runs well".
In Linux we have FreeCAD but if you're heavily dependent on Fusion360 I'd recommend trying a Virtual Windows Machine, Bottles, Lutris, Steam Proton, the installation script posted here and so on.
If you have space for two drives on your computer then worst case you could bypass the windows whatever and have two different OSs.
This, maybe with something with good wine/gpu compatibility like CachyOs. And if it fails there are ways to install windows 11 on IvyBridge
No luck. I use OnShape.
This has been my experience. I couldn't even get logged in to Fusion via Bottles.
No, I tried for a while but I gave up.
I switched to Onshape and I'm very happy with the switch.
I tried to make Fusion 360 run under wine and just couldn't get it reliably working.
There were problems logging in, problems with resolution, issues with fonts and DLL errors. It just wasn't stable enough to rely on.
You really shouldn't connect win10 machines to the Internet at some points. Legacy shit is fine and fun. But don't go shaking hands with danger.
