Suuure, let me know when Revit, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, OpenRoads Designer are operable and supported on Linux.
I knoooooooow. I know arcgis is working on it at least. I'm a geologist, a ton of our geospatial programs require windows.
But I'm about ready to experiment with a dual joot for my home set up! I really never need windows for that anymore
Postgis and Qgis don't require windows. ArcGIS is such bloat ware. They live by the cult following rather than merit.
I mean yeah, same with adobe and loads of other enterprise software suites. Unfortunately, most of us have no way of convincing our enterprise to move off of their shitty suite. I personally use open his for as much as possible, but professionally I'm stuck with what my work makes me use.
How did you get arc working on Linux?
See @applebusch@lemmy. world's comment in this same chain.
Portal isn't ArcPro :s
The future is now old man.

Looks like the other three aren't natively supported though.
A bunch of our civil engs happily use qGIS.
I've noticed Ala lot of the features on ArcGIS actually originate from qGIS after having built some mapping tools.
Ah, I didn't know that about ArcGIS!
Still, the others are arguably more important to the civil industry as a whole. I personally don't believe Autodesk or Bentley will ever support Linux, so us civil folks are stuck.
