Adobe, OK. SolidWorks? Nah. NX is a higher-end CAD solution (costs more though) and runs on RHEL or SUSE

Yay! SolidWorks was literally the last thing keeping me on Windows

Edit: Um, why does the Siemens website say it only supports the license server since 2020?

Not sure, they changed license server types recently for newest NX. But new server should support backwards. They have NX12 linux GUI version supported , latest NX release only runs Linux batch NX---for who know why

I miss NX. My company uses SolidWorks, and it's...okay, I guess? But I'm aggravated on a weekly basis because it doesn't do something that NX could. But cost is the issue. I think you can get like 5 SW licenses for the cost of a single NX one.

Siemens has a 3 to 1 model license option now. Up to 3 users of Solid Edge, but if they check theirs all in, you can pull 1 NX license. A nice compromise for when you need more power

Adobe works pretty good on another non-Windows OS…
