= There is some point to this toot... maybe=

I need to get off my ass and ditch Windows on my main workstation (thanks for the kick in the ass, Mattay). My main show-stopper is Fusion 360*. I guess I could flip the script on my setup --

currently, Workstation PC is often just a giant web-browser which does RDP to other machines, terminal/SSH, ... and Fusion and Photoshop (and yes, I have alternatives for that, but I'm lazy b/c I can be until I make a change)...

-- and have Windows in a VM for Fusion (I'm not just going to switch to something else overnight).

Anyway...

=============
* - and yes, I know, there are other things out there, some of them even free... but it's what I know and I've tried so many other things... I mean I went to school for computer engineering and that involved a lot of CAD, so I've done CAD, but my brain and most CAD software do not get along creatively. My brain likes solid modeling. I guess I should give FreeCAD another go now it's got more solid tools, but... that's work, yo.

@tankgrrl I use the web version fusion360 (I have a student license because of the classes I take.) It's a remote desktop with a wrapper on it, but the downside is that it will lose the plot on the remote desktop and I don't think Autodesk's leadership cares.

I need to ask the person teaching our CAM/CNC class who the schools' contact at Autodesk is.

@emma I do just enough commercial work to justify paying for it. But... I think I need to ween myself off of it. Or at least expand my comfort to include some other tools.

@tankgrrl #FreeCAD could learn to be a leader and set up a public radio model to fund development so that people would adopt it as a daily driver. If any of that community are listening, I don't have a gig at the moment. Call me.
