    sadly if you do PC gaming you are sometimes forced to use windows. If all your friends play League of Legends it doesn’t help you to say “but DotA 2 runs on Linux”, you need windows or you can’t play with your friends. Same goes for lots of Multiplayer games like GTA Online.

    All the tools and stuff I agree. But for games there just is no option other than Windows sometimes

      Every situation is different. I used to pc game from 90s on. I now just steam some games, console and VR the rest. CAD is done with FreeCAD, GIMP / 'shop, I only solo play games. My few friends from 40 years ago just do board games and disc golf.

      Again situations are different. What i stated is accurate in my case.

        I did never say anything against it, I just said why that’s not feasible for everyone.

        BTW: If you don’t want to use FreeCAD, Fusion360 works completely fine in Linux using this helper. Again: this is not to say that you should not use FreeCAD, it’s just more information for other people reading this thread.
