I'm super happy with Debian, but I still have to dual boot because of Solidworks π. Also Elegoo Satelite doesn't work too good with Wine.

I've gotten solidworks to work in a Windows 11 VM with decent performance. I use Virtual Machine Manager, which is a GUI that uses QEMU/KVM on the backend.
I used this guide for better performance, and it also resolved an issue where solidworks wouldn't install because it could tell it was in a VM.
Sweet, thanks so much!

Iβve been using OnShape for CAD. It runs in the browser and is pretty fantastic.Β

4 days? Try 10 minutes.
I mean... yeah.
The only thing stopping me from moving to Linux is the fact I want to play Battlefield 6 and Space Marine 2.
That's what dual booting is for!
I played Space Marine 2 on a steam deck. It wasn't the best experience but that was not because of linux.
