  • Arch Linux. First on i3, later on wayland with Sway, where I had lots of flickering, so I’d use XFCE (with x11) specifically for Fusion work (so log out and log in with xfce when i wanted to use fusion). and now Niri, which works well enough for flickering, but has issues with fusion 360’s modal windows not being in the right place, so i use a Labwc window inside Niri and force Fusion to run in that, mostly because i grew tired of switching to xfce. I would recommend xfce if you want less hassle. Haven’t tried with gnome or kde.

    Do you remember what issues you had? Whenever i had trouble in the past (e.g. with logging in), i usually found a solution in the github issues (i guess both GH aud codeberg issues now that the project moved)




  • I’ve been using it through wine for two years now, using this repo.

    It works surprisingly well, sometimes there’s some flickering, but not enough to prevent me from working. It gets a bit slow to react on big assemblies, though that might also be the case on windows. logging in is a pain, luckily that’s only every 1-2 months (you need to log in on the homepage, copy the login id and run a cli command with the id, within the 30 seconds before the id expires. Usually takes me 2-3 tries because i forget it after 2 months). it not seeing linux drives and having to copy files from/to wine’s drive_c is a bit annoying.

    but overall it’s good enough, haven’t booted the windows partition in those two years and I’m willing to deal with this to be windows free. But if i had to use it professionally as a daily driver, that would probably be different.

    I did have to reinstall it twice in the two year period, though.
