    Would you mind sharing a couple of the names of the programs that only work on Windows for you? I’m a bit curious.

      I’m not Tyler Bourbon, but it’s Fusion 360 for me. I sound like a broken record at this point, but it’s the only piece of software that keeps a windows install in my house

      Hey Autodesk you should put F360 on Linux

      I’m not the OP but I have a similar situation. I work in multimedia design and use a wide array of software from the full Adobe suite, to in-house command line apps, to the Articulate suite and everything in between.

      I’d love to be on Linux but that just isn’t a possibility for me.

        I’m a professional graphic designer that dumped Adobe years back and I’ve been able to keep working using open source design applications.

      Not OP, but for another data point: recently I did quite a bit of Linux-related research on the three Adobe apps I use (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, in this order of prominence), and they are all reported as some level of broken via Wine and their Linux alternatives are missing important features and/or a pain in the arse to use :/
