Very positively surprised by how seamless the switch from Windows was (feddit.org)

Today, I switched the last of my Windows machines to Linux: my gaming PC. I've been using Linux on servers for many years but was a bit apprehensive for gaming.

Turns out it just... works. Just installed steam and turned proton on, have zero performance or other issues. I'm using Ubuntu 25.04 for the 6.14 kernels NT emulation performance tweaks. Aside from there not being a catalyst driver for it and so I can't undervolt my card everything is great.

I personally live linix, and I am trying switching over in the house in such a way that the rest of the household can use it with as little issues as possible. That being said, I need to ask for some help with a couple of programs that are vital for us but that I am having a hard time to replace. If anybody has any suggestion for the following I would really be grateful. -fusion 360 -lychee slicer (i can install it but unable to make holes in hollowed out forms) -copy to usb for big files without the system crashing (copy stops)

printer keeps disappearing after some time.

I would recommend making your own post to get more help. On the cad side of things the alternatives are free cad, on shape, or blender; I don't have that much experience with them, but just based on my fusion experience, I would assume they can all do the same things, just in completely different ways since fusion had it's own special way for literally everything.

FreeCAD certainly looks like it does most of the CAD stuff I need but I have yet to get it to run well enough to be usable on any of the 3 systems I've tried it on (hardware that runs fusion fine). I don't know what people are doing to make it work but I can't figure it out.

How are you getting FreeCAD to run poorly? I've run it fine on a Raspberry Pi.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well, first I install it. Then I launch it. Then I try to do literally anything with it and it takes like 90 seconds to actually respond to every command. I do have a Raspberry pi around somewhere. Maybe I'll try that.

Can you provide machine specs? Maybe you're using an Nvidia card without drivers or something? Or maybe it's a laptop and it's using the wrong GPU?

Again, I agree with the first responder, make your own post so it gets more visibility and provide as many details as you can.

How are you installing it? Are you somehow using a Windows version or something?

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 20 hours ago

I've installed it via Flatpak and using the appimage, both were the same. I also tried the appimage on my windows desktop and had the exact same performance.
