I’ve moved half my toolset to free and open source alternatives. I’ve ditched Adobe which has a monopoly on the entire market. Sadly, there are no alternative BIM/CAD tools that can take on Autodesk (yet).

I was thinking this too. Might get a second desktop and set that up


Haha Ok let me send a memo to the whole global architecture community and ask them to switch to something different


Thanks. I am a freelancer but I depend on the platforms my clients work with.


Can anyone give recommendations on what to do if you have to run Autodesk products (Revit. Autocad) for work? No, I can’t swap them for open source alternatives such as FreeCAD as Im working with large international projects. Should I dual boot? Virtual machine inside Linux?


😬 You brought it up, man. People here are so combative…we all Gucci man. It was lost in translation that’s all. It wasn’t meant with malice. I just clarified with the follow up.


It’s pretty amazing and scartches a weird itch I can’t get elsewhere. But I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea


Lemmy: You’re too sensitive. Don’t take online comments too seriously. A lot gets lost in text (tone, for instance). It was meant more tongue in cheek. We’re all Kumbaya here. I took it out anyway. Cheers
I did look at setting this up on my Synology and it seems I have to take a day off work to get it done. Is it worth it?


I can’t believe no one has mentioned Radio Paradise. Good music. Free app on Android / iOS.
Also: SomaFM. Same as above: free, good content, not managed by the devil.
Notable mention: Kexp, The Current


Barf. Or maybe, just maybe, we have other shit to do rather than spend hours trying to figure out how to do one thing in Gimp. It’s great that YOU’RE passionate about tech. Some of us have other hobbies. Imagine that holy shit


I could be an asshole. I won’t debate that. Maybe I am.
My point isn’t to claim I’m not an asshole. My point is compared to other spaces the vitriol and anger here seems ramped to 100.
Im leaning towards two separate machines as well. I think that’s the route I’ll go in the end
