Damn. I think it’s time for me to finally try Mint. Currently using 98% Ubuntu and 2% Windows because unfortunately there’s always some sort of Windows-only software I need for one reason or another. Yes I’ve tried Wine, I haven’t gotten it to work.

What’s the software? Maybe a simple VM would do the job?
Replying to @Stiggyman@ani.social
Solidworks, Fusion360, Altium, and a few others

Could we find Open Source alternatives? I’ve gotten good use of blender for these but I don’t know your use cases
Replying to @Gonzako@lemmy.world
Blender is world class, but the CAD softwares are leagues behind, unfortunately.

Whilst FreeCAD certainly doesn’t have feature parity with things like Creo, I firmly believe it is good enough for most people. I switched to only using that for all my contract work and personal projects and it’s generally been fine

That’s awesome! Do you have any videos you’d recommend for someone getting into it?
Replying to @Gonzako@lemmy.world
Very different use case. I make parts to 3D print and CNC mill. Lots of brackets and other mechanical parts.

I wish there were open source alternatives to Autocad, but freecad is doing its own thing and as someone who uses Autocad as part of her career it’s so much easier to keep a partition for when I need to throw something together than to learn how to make freecad work
