Its like asking would you rather be hit in the knee with lead pipe or a baseball bat.
At least on the business side, you have macbooks that can run fusion 360 that are uber expensive and the hardware is soon obsolete. Or windows with adware and enshitafaction.
I really hope large software companys pull there heads out of there ass’s.
I do alot of laser cutting in my free time and it hurt when lightburn (a commercial product and great software) supported linux. I installed rocky linux and installed lightburn and havent had to deal with it since. They gave it the axe because they were remaking the software and linux wasnt large enough for development.
Which really sucks, im forever stuck on version 1.7 as its the last lightburn version.
I wish autodesk would just make a native linux version! I love purpose built software, have a watch, it tells the time. Have a thin client that runs the laser. Any they all do it so well, i know the opensource community is working really hard for freeCAD. But coming from fusion 360 is such a steep curve from workflows.
I wish there was a better modeler for FOSS.
And i feel like the demand will grow, i mean windows 10 is EOL soon. And i have converted 4 people from windows to linux. I spend some more time teaching them about its underworkings and how to fix things.
I feel that 4 more to the pile of linux users will be good for the long term.
