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!
Should be fine if autodesk doesn’t do the same crap as solidworks, which won’t allow installing on a vm with some licenses, in my case student license
Ugh. I decided to use an old desktop and use remote desktop. It’s not ideal but might be more functional then virtualization
That’s what I did too, just controlled my windows laptop with anydesk. I can’t plug it into my monitor and staring at a laptop screen destroys my neck, so that was the next best thing…until anydesk suddenly became shit and started crashing, image became too blurry to see any text, huge latency.
I have two desktops so I’m starting with a kvm switch before I move into a remote desktop situation. Let’s see how it goes.
