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 mean when I first tried FreeCAD a few months ago I couldn’t get it to function AT ALL. Literally everything I tried to do took minutes to process and this happened on several different PCs. That issue somehow resolved itself and it’s working now but it left me very wary of relying on the application, if I had been on a deadline I’d have been fucked. Never had a problem like that with Fusion360.
