    I use Linux and none of the programs I need for structural engineering work on Linux.

    Trust me, I would totally ditch the dual boot if I could, but sadly, I can’t

      What are they called? What do you need for Linux that only works on Windows or Mac right now?

        Revit, Tekla, AutoCAD, the usual. I have tried out FreeCAD but found it clunky to use comparably.

          Try BriscCAD. It is very similar to AutoCAD and supports their files.

          Revit seems to work fine with Wine, and although wineHQ reports Tekla performance as garbage, that was a very long time ago. It probably works better now.

            Trust me, if you’re used to the AutoCAD workflow and UI, BricsCAD is just different enough that it can be a bit jarring and a huge drop to your productivity.
