  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

    10 and 11 are waaaaaaaay better than 8. But meme is meme.

    [–] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Maybe out of the box, but with classicshell 8 was better

    [–] germtm_@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

    my dad genuinely preferred Windows 8 with Classic Shell over Windows 7.

    The software I run a 8 figure business with only works in windows and macs. Not a specific title but the software for an entire industry. Linux is nice but still a novelty in my world.

    [–] boonhet@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    What software is that? Is it something with a really heavy desktop client by nature (e.g CAD, video editing), or could it instead have a browser-based frontend?

    [–] Blackout@fedia.io 11 points 4 months ago (3 children)

    Yes, CAD/CAM stuff like Catia, SW, mastercam, etc. It will take a lot of market share improvements to convince the developers to bother with a port. I'm no M$ fanboy, just no real production alternative.

    I really wish SW ran on Linux. That would get me to switch over entirely.

    [–] kusivittula@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    you can run sw 2022 and 2023 in some distros. https://github.com/cryinkfly/SOLIDWORKS-for-Linux

    doesn't work in mint tho, i tried.

    [–] VolumetricShitCompressor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    How good does it run in the supported distros?

    [–] kusivittula@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

    no idea, i can't get any other distros to work properly

    [–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 5 points 4 months ago

    So much grief caused by the widespread move from Unix to Windows in the industry sector. The Unix dwarves grew too greedy, their hardware platforms too niche… they unleashed the beast from the depths. An IBM-PC so powerful, it quashed their empires!

    [–] boonhet@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

    I reckon they might be using a lot of Windows specific libraries, making any porting a real pain in the ass. And when you're in that space, unfortunately people just have to choose the OS that goes with their applications, not the other way around.

    It's literally easier to start an entirely new CAD/CAM project and make that cross-platform. Unfortunately, that's a 7 or 8 figure proposition to get started as well (probably 8 for a polished product that can pull proper market share).

    [–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

    Same. Until Linux is supported by scada systems it will only be a service, non-hmi OS, in my world.

    The sad part is a lot of modern SCADAs and DCSs are migrating or have already migrated to HTML, but using Microsoft technologies as core. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
