Hi y'all! This may be a stupid question, but here it goes anyways: I'm thinking of trying to install Linux on a laptop that's getting slow because of a bloated Windows install. I basically only use it for some internet browsing and 3D modelling (Fusion360) and slicing for my 3D printer (Cura). Is such software available for Linux and do you have experience with it? Doesn't need to be Fusion360 and Cura specifically. I'm prepared to learn.

Thanks in advance!

Fusion360 runs und er Linux.

Its a oneclick installer in bottles. You can find a more manual approach in the crinklyfly github page for that.

It runs 90% and absolutely gold enough.

Cura, Superslicer habe Linux builds

Fusion in Bottles runs like a dog for me, so laggy it's not usable.

My dog is fast, i haven't won a single race with him yet, so I can't relate.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
