Hi,
I’m considering transitioning completely to Linux for my main workstation. However, due to the nature of my work I rely extensively on a few Autodesk products (namely AutoCAD, Revit) as well as Ms OneDrive to coordinate with clients. I did some research and these applications are not available natively and can’t run through Wine. So I was thinking setting up a virtual machine with a windows image in order to run these two programs. They don’t need extensive GPU. I was wondering if there are any obstacles / issues I should be aware if I chose to go this route? Thanks!
Now, I am not intimately familiar with Autodesk products, but I have this extensively with other Windows only software and the VM option has worked great. Some VR platforms will even run the Windows part in the background and let you run your application right on your Linux desktop like any other Linux app.
Which program does this?
I think they are talking about “seamless” mode, not sure which virtual machine applications do this but it does exist e.g. this is VirtualBox’s description of the feature

Great! Thanks
