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!
Be careful with some of this expensive commercial crap. I use a piece of software which does not work if it even remotely thinks it is in a virtual environment due to an overzealous license manager.
It will be banished on a single purpose windows laptop, so I can finally reinstall the desk machine with Linux single boot.
Thanks. I’m debating between using a second tower with a KVM switch adjacent. Seems less hassle but I’d prefer to have a vm and have everything locally.
That’s what i would prefer, too, but their license manager is rather evil.
