Oh, AutoDesk...you have such a way with words. Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.

I recently made the switch to Linux, and since fusion360 doesn't support Linux I've been using Onshape. Boy do I miss fusion. I certainly wouldn't pay $600 a year for it though since I only use it for personal projects.
Getting fusion360 running on linux is 10 seconds of google. It works perfectly fine and i use it for without any hiccups.
Method 1: Get Bottles and use the provided installer inside that.
Method 2: Use this script
When I was testing this a couple of years ago it seemed to break every couple of months though, and part of the game was Autodesk was actively detecting Linux installs and borking them. Has that changed?
As I said. It works flawless and without hiccups
This isn't the personal use version. That one is still free.
What do you find that you miss the most? I've considered trying onshape but I don't really like cloud based software (yes, I know F360 is semi cloud based).
