Web or native Linux version plans?

We recently switched entirely to Linux and Fusion 360 is the only product in our workflow that is not properly supported or available. Are there any plans to have a proper web browser version alike OnShape or native Linux version? I think there was a webassembly project in the past but it seems not to be available anymore and the other web version uses a Windows remote desktop with a really bad performance. We've been paying the subscription for over two years now, but no Linux support as well as no usable web client will leave us with no other choice but to consider moving to a different CAD software.

Switch to Linux a few months ago and I've been really missing Fusion 360 I really hope they reconsider their position and adjust development for linux compatibility. Doesn't have to be a huge thing just something that we could run using wine and that doesn't brake on the next update from fusion.

I would unironically pay for a subscription if Fusion released a native Linux app. Any other 3d modelling software just doesn't work for me, and dual-booting purely for Fusion is terrible

Autodesk needs to see more paying customers vote with their wallets. I have been a subscriber for several years. Fusion's free tier arguably just shouldn't be used. If you can work with those limitations you can probably jump to FreeCAD anyway. Free Fusion doesn't let you export step files, which would be a non-starter for me. Why would I waste my time designing something that I can't take with me? Try contacting Autodesk directly and inquiring about starting a subscription on condition of availability on Linux. There IS some number of customers, I'm sure, that would trigger a response.

Would be great to see a mainstream commercial CAD supporting Linux after all other platforms abandoned the OS years ago.
I, myself have been on Linux for years now and currently run fusion under a windows11 VM

That's not true. I don't know if it has always been the case, but I exported a step file from free Fusion just now with no difficulty.
