Hi y’all! This may be a stupid question, but here it goes anyways: I’m thinking of trying to install Linux on a laptop that’s getting slow because of a bloated Windows install. I basically only use it for some internet browsing and 3D modelling (Fusion360) and slicing for my 3D printer (Cura). Is such software available for Linux and do you have experience with it? Doesn’t need to be Fusion360 and Cura specifically. I’m prepared to learn.

Thanks in advance!

    Depends what you want to create. Organic models, mechanical parts, huge assemblies, symmulations, how complex etc.

    If you need 3D modeling - blender, but you need 3D CAD modeling software I guess. Im not daily fusion user, but I was playing around with it. Im using solidworks and there is nothing available on linux that is good enough for my needs unfortunately. Thats why I dual boot shitdows… Someone said fusion can work under proton, that sounds good, Id try that. If that doesnt work for you I think freeCAD is your best bet.

    And yeah Cura works on linux 🥰
