Fusion 360 Linux port?

Hello Autodesk

 

Would you please consider porting Fusion 360 to Linux?

 

It's a real pain having to boot into Windows when ever you need to design a part.

 

You've already done the hard part by supporting Mac, shouldn't be that difficult supporting Linux as well.

 

Kind Regards

Jacob

I totally support the idea. By supporting Linux Fusion360 will have a competitive advantage on most other commercial CAD software. Moreover using recent advances of Wine and DirectX virtual drivers like DXVK or Proton some have already managed to make Fusion work under Linux but had to modify the installer to bypass OS detection. If devs take a few hours to change a few lines of code, the installation could probably work flawlessly under Wine. Even if Autodesk does not support this OS officially, it would be great to be able to install it in Wine.

So after another trial (probably the 10th time since a few years), I made it work under Linux through Wine  thanks to the detailed informations found there: https://gist.github.com/probonopd/0fab254aa0b6fc371d8db641822bd530

 

This is not a straight forward procedure as one has to modify one python file of the installer to make it work but all the rest could be automated through shell scripts.

@Anonymous  can you please do a detailed write-up and video on this for us non-Linux users.

This is also something I really miss. I have dural boot only for that sake of Fusion - All other software I run in Linux or in the cloud. As mentioned above, there is very little (serious) 3d CAD for Linux - I can only think of NX.

I totally support this request !

 

I am using OnShape as a workaround, but i really would like to use Fusion 360 without having to boot to Windows.

Please, please, please, yes a 1000 times please.  F360 is the only reason I have had to boot Windows in a year or two.

 

Linux is gaining ground quickly now that there are more reliable distros and this can be Autodesk's opportunity to get ahead of the competition.
