From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Solidworks and other industry-class CAD software on linux (lemmy.world)

I am about to go to college for engineering and they require a Windows laptop because of the software we will be using (mostly solidworks I'm pretty sure) doesn't work on other operating systems. I primarily use windows day-to-day for gaming and such anyways so it's not a problem for me but I'm wondering if anyone had experience using solidworks or any other industry-class CAD software like Inventor on linux

Yeah that's a little what i suspected, it's worked fine on win 10 with the exact same setup thoughm What other software did you find that worked? And was something to replace discord or just help with audio mixing?

For the CAD, that's pretty much what I expected and definitely seems to be the overall conclusion.

I use Sonar from Steelseries since I have one of their headsets. It does work for other headsets too, afaik it’s windows only though.

Any audiochannel mixing software that has an input (and output for microphone) should work. The main thing is to not let discord touch the device directly basically.

I had just been searching around and messing with stuff and narrowed it down to only having problems when in a discord call and connected to my headphones with Bluetooth, but not when the same device was in wired mode. I tried a different audio channel mixer that I found for free after a quick search, and now it works! Thanks!
