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.

Advice on a CAD solution (sopuli.xyz)

I'm in need of a CAD program with an easy aproach for someone with zero experience on this type of software.

3D printing is not a concern

I intend to draw the blueprints for my house. The building is old, no blueprints exist for it, and I intend to make renovations to it, so having blueprints to work on to plan the renovations will be a huge help.

pirate solidworks. fuck dassault systemes, but they make a damned good cad program, with excellent documentation on how to do just about everything under the sun (and some stuff that even the sun don't shine on)

use a win10 ltsc VM with device passthru for running it, it won't know the difference.

SolidWorks isn't the right tool for 2D. And if it was, Onshape has a free tier.

[–] grillgamesh 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

its the right tool for everything engineering related; you can do drafting very easily, its built-in.

onshape may have a free tier, but piracy is better than free, due to "free" meaning that your information is the product being sold (to other vendors).

I've used SolidWorks for over 20 years, it is NOT the right tool for 2D layouts. That's what Draftsight was for, before they killed it.

You pirate away, good luck with trojans and viruses. I'll use Onshape.

I've been pirating for a looooooong time. I've never once gotten viruses. stick to private trackers, and proven uploaders for software (fitgirlrepacks, solidsquad, etc) and you won't get viruses.
