  • Interesting.

    Up till about 2018 aerospace CAD/CAM/FEA had Unigraphics/NX and PLM software as a Linux option. For who knows why, they dropped the Graphical Linux version so we are back on Windows, and headless Linux for automation only. I’m hoping with Wayland maturing they will eventually bring Linux back because it was a lot more performant than the Windows version.



  • I found it super straight forward if you know how to seach the package web page and copy paste to your config.

    But you are right, the average Windows user won’t be Editting configs.

    My machines are OpenSUSE. But for my wife, who has zero computer skill, I installed nixOS with the apps she needed for home and work and she has had zero* issues in 5 years, because it just works.

    • the only issues have been file management because she gets flustered with folders for her outgoing monthly documents, and wants every file in one folder…which is fine if your remember to rename them all by month and year, but gets messy when you don’t.
