Title basically.

One of my windows computers, which happens to be the one I happen to do the most CAD work on, can’t upgrade to windows 11 due to having an Ivy Bridge era Xenon (it’s an E5-1680 v2 for the curious, older used workstations are fantastic bang for the buck computers).

Switching to Linux on this computer has been in the cards for a while, but I hadn’t been in a hurry to do it. Looks like my hand might be getting forced…

    I think I remember people saying they got it working with this

    That being said, stuff like Fusion 360 changes quite often and even if it works now it might break compatibility with the future update.

    FreeCAD has come a long way since with the 1.0 release and the 1.1 release also has lots of good quality of life improvements.
