I am very glad I moved to Linux full time

Despite what everyone told me on message boards about lack of support for Adobe products and CAD software... somehow I've been really successful on linux-only for many many years now.

It's really nice. Remember when your computer was actually yours? You choose what apps to install, what configuration you want, and who you share your data with? Those dreams are alive with Linux: Not just for nerds anymore.

Do you know something I don't? I can get away with running Affinity software through wine instead of Adobe, but the only good CAD option is running OnShape in your browser, but then you have to deal with the terrible licensing model of OnShape

What did you end up using for CAD? qCAD?

I've been wanting to learn but all of my peers in school learned on AutoCAD.
