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

    Im pretty sure Inventor is the other main industry cad software, and considering they are both Autodesk it may also work ok.

    I’ve used OpenScad a little, definitely agree it’s only good for small things.
