Tried doing 3d modeling in a Windows VM - couldn't get acceleration to pass through.


What 3D modelling were you doing that couldn't be done on linux?


Fusion360 doesn't work on Linux. Or at least I tried multiple times and couldn't get it to work


Really? I recall installing it 3 years ago, and aside from some oddities with popups, it worked just fine. I think it was this script [0]. I don't know if they broke it, I switched to OpenSCAD, which meets my needs.

Mostly having software better than FreeCAD, AKA everything that exists on Windows and macOS.


I needed to use Rhino 3D specifically because it had an environmental simulation plugin.


None of your business.
