I set up Proton 3.7 and told PlayOnLinux that I wanted to install an unlisted application through the Proton setup. So today I downloaded the installer on a Windows machine, put the file on a USB drive and headed over to a Linux host. (thanks again, I know, but I still want to download this file anyway) I tried to mention this over Twitter, but I got a standard message that this behavior was because my OS was not supported. It's great that it mentions that although I'm already aware of that fact. As a Linux user, no option is given, it just states that your OS is unsupported. As a Mac user, you get redirected to the DMG download, as a Windows user you get redirected to the. Here's the problem: On the Fusion website it is checked which OS is running on the host machine. However, the Fusion installation process is actively working against me and I'm not sure if it is intentional, or just a 'bug'.
This would be a huge plus for FabLabs, Makerspace and Hackerspaces (which is more than a small part of the Instructables community). It would require no development efforts on Autodesks part and if it were to work gracefully, it could be added as a PlayOnLinux setting to make it trivial to get Fusion 360 running on Linux based machines. I myself have experience running Windows software natively on a Linux host through Proton with stunning graphics performance.ĭuring the last couple of weeks I've spent some time over the evenings to figure out if Fusion 360 would run this way. Proton has proven itself to be extremely well tuned for a lot of graphical applications, not only games. Inventor team continues evaluate different technologies and tries to offer broader access to the product.Valve recently released Proton, a new emulation layer on top of WINE. It has to evaluate if such daunting endeavor makes technical and business sense.Ī different way to look at this issue is that there are existing technologies allowing Inventor to run on OS neutral environment, like virtualization, browser-based, and streaming. Like many other companies in the world, Autodesk is a public-traded for-profit company. Although Autodesk offers free education license to students, educators, and education institutes worldwide, most products do require commercial license and users to pay. Whether or not Linux version should be offered is a technical question and a business question. However, there isn't strong demand from professional users to provide Linux-based Inventor based on our user study. Indeed, it would be nice if Inventor can run natively on Linux or any operation system other than Windows. Hi! As you can see, this is a very old topic (started from 2007) and there was not much further discussion.
