I am about to go to college for engineering and they require a Windows laptop because of the software we will be using (mostly solidworks I’m pretty sure) doesn’t work on other operating systems. I primarily use windows day-to-day for gaming and such anyways so it’s not a problem for me but I’m wondering if anyone had experience using solidworks or any other industry-class CAD software like Inventor on linux

    Yeah my current setup is far from ideal, my laptop is pretty solid though, it’s better than my PC. Win 11 is kinda sucky from the few weeks I’ve been using it though

      I tried it for a while to satiate my inner nerd’s curiosity and I liked it though, still worse than Linux on both technical and moral grounds however.

        Yeah for the most part it is fine, it’s just given me some weird problems I haven’t had before, not sure if windows is to blame or the computer itself. For some reason whenever I am playing a game on steam and also in a voice call on discord the game audio will get cut out and/or distorted a lot of the time. The overall complaints are of course being somewhat bloated and morals.

          Nah, it is not the bloat.

          Windows sucks. Linux is much better. Keep using Linux and you’ll see it.
