I do love that Microsoft has basically admitted that they have an inferior OS by shipping windows with Linux VMs

The only reason we use Windows at work is because it's needed to run ArcGIS and AutoCAD, because ESRI and Autodesk are masochists and allow Microsoft to walk all over them and prevent them from porting to Linux.

Hey, I don't set the design specs. AutoCrash sucks and before I got this job I just used KiCAD and FreeCAD. But civil engineering stuff is all pretty cornered by Civil3D because they build the templates for county permit offices for free.

Which is absolutely predatory, and forces all permits submitted to that county authority to be in a proprietary format. Some of them are starting to accept more open design standards, but many are stuck with the hyper niche Autodesk garbage because they only have like 10 elected people working the office and they have decades of training documents geared specifically towards this exact AutoCAD template.
