Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? (lemmy.world)

Title basically.

One of my windows computers, which happens to be the one I happen to do the most CAD work on, can't upgrade to windows 11 due to having an Ivy Bridge era Xenon (it's an E5-1680 v2 for the curious, older used workstations are fantastic bang for the buck computers).

Switching to Linux on this computer has been in the cards for a while, but I hadn't been in a hurry to do it. Looks like my hand might be getting forced...

You really shouldn't connect win10 machines to the Internet at some points. Legacy shit is fine and fun. But don't go shaking hands with danger.

It's far easier to run Windows 11 on older hardware then getting random windows apps to ruin on Linux.

You know where else it's easy to run Windows 11? In a VM on Linux.

It is fairly trivial to bypass the win11 upgrade requirements, if that is preferable to you.

Yeah it's annoying still, I have an 80gb partition I put windows on for work purposes, I told it to check for updates yesterday when I was signing off for work. It popped up with an option that said Security updates are ending Oct 14th, and a box to click to enroll for extended updates till Oct 14th, 2026. I clicked it and it said I was enrolled for another year. It's a sure sign they are trying to force people to move to Windows 11, but apparently they will be making the security updates all the same and not sending them to everyone by default.

EU forced them to give another year in the EU. Elsewhere, people are out of luck.

I'm in Tennessee, maybe they made it automatic for the people in the EU, and left it opt in for the U.S.

I used it some years ago. It "just worked," but later when I tried to install it again, it didn't. I probably could've made it work again, but I didn't actually need it badly enough to bother.

So yes and kinda no

@IMALlama Make some pressure to Autodesk or try alternatives.

Spoiler: Win 11 will say it can't run on anything.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

welp, looks like I won't be using fusion when I inevitably need some design program on my personal computer again

[-] somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

It is getting forced.

You have VERY SHORT time until the day...

so DO IT NOW.
