From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any Workarounds for Running AutoCAD on Linux? (lemmygrad.ml)

In my CAD class, the instructor requires explicitly AutoCAD because "that's the industry standard." As we know, AutoDork are a bunch pricks who refuses to get up from Microslop's lap, so I am in a tight spot rn.

Should I use a VM to run or would ACAD Web do the trick? Honestly, I can even try to push my luck with another CAD program that supports .dwg files.

My country in particular has been pushing what I'd like to call the “anti-education” policy for decades now. They don't teach anything in any grade, be it kindergarten or post-grad. They want you to study for the ridiculous exams that test your memorization instead of your knowledge. And even when you pass them and get in a good school, if you don't have any relatives close to the government, you either have to move to other countries or work in inhuman conditions.

As for the AutoCAD, I'm using a VM, and I haven't encountered any problems for now. I can go my own way after I pass the class.
