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…

    I’ve had issues with FreeCAD being less performant and freezing or crashing when trying to make more complex parts.

    Fairly rare though and I’ve been able to work around it

        As much as I hate AutoCAD, Fusion360 is the only option for serious modelling and fast prototyping.

          In what context? I personally find NX and SpaceClaim to be as good or better in both of those aspects, buuuuuut no home gamer is going to be able to afford either.
