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

      I’ve heard mostly good things about onshape besides assemblies being weird. Haven’t tried it out yet but I also have ~4 years experience in Solidworks already from using it for robotics club in HS and like it well
