I am about to go to college for engineering and they require a Windows laptop because of the software we will be using (mostly solidworks I’m pretty sure) doesn’t work on other operating systems. I primarily use windows day-to-day for gaming and such anyways so it’s not a problem for me but I’m wondering if anyone had experience using solidworks or any other industry-class CAD software like Inventor on linux

For me it’s been a drop in replacement, it feels very similar. I don’t use all the features. It has LISP scripting support and a lot of the recent updates have been dealing w/ BIM. I do a lot of 2d drafting with the occasional 3d drawing to have something machined or printed.
