    Hi I’m some mf

    Day 1,095 of begging Autodesk to put F360 on Linux so I can ditch windows

    I know, they won’t, but I’m gonna keep asking anyway

      Hey, same boat. I’ve tried FreeCAD and Ondsel (which is supposed to be a more intuitive version of FreeCAD)… But they are both so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.

      Luckily Blender works great on Linux for less functional designs.

        People often recommend Linux alternatives, but that’s the thing—an alternative on Linux has to be a preferable to just booting into a spare Windows hard drive.

        If restarting my computer, booting up windows, opening F360, modeling my part, exporting it to a flash drive, restarting my computer, and booting back into Linux is faster than figuring out how to make that same model in OpenSCAD or whatever, then I’m gonna be restarting my computer a lot.
