Fusion 360 for me. Freecads incredibly user unfriendly, openscad is missing functionality and performance, and blender isn't great for engineering modeling
Fan control. MSI after burner. Nvidia drivers.
Windows 10 gaming desktop
Mint laptop
Fancontrol-gui, corectl, yeah nvidia drivers still suck but are improving.
My only real reason is the amount of stuff I'd have to move over
I did it as long as gaming kept me there. Now I can play pretty much anything on my Linux machine. Forza fucked up. But whatever. It's a not a game to die for.
Tax perp software was the only thing I needed it for in the last year. I haven't converted my gaming PC to Linux yet, but I don't anticipate an issue.
I keep a windows LTSC install around purely for Escape from Tarkov. Everything else I play works great on Linux.
I need to connect to my work machine with RDP and I tried using Remmina. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes the special key stop working( ctrls + s will type s instead of saving) Also there are visual glitches on a second monitor. I had to switch back to windows.
Can anyone recommend a different RDP client?
@Rusty @Kory Usually i using http://www.rdesktop.org/, but it is not actively developed now
I'll try it, thanks.
Sometimes it is easier
A few months ago I installed windows on a spare SSD. It's only purpose was for modded Skyrim.
A few weeks ago I accidentally formated that drive. It was only mildly annoying. Then I remembered I was basically done with that playthrough anyways. The SSD still remains unformated XD
"Accidentally formatted that drive"
Someone is playing with fire.
Yep, that's me. Wasn't 100% sober at the time. Self inflicted I admit. Not the first time, won't be the last XD
Msm flash tool, I need windows for this
Msm flash tool
If that's all you need. I bet you could just run it from WINE. I updated my PS5 controller using the PlayStation flash tool or whatever it's called. I used Bottles to do all the WINE stuff. Just installed the flash tool and it worked like it was Windows. Pretty shocked if I'm being honest.
I have one reason that I fire up a Windows VM once a quarter. I do the financial reporting for the local branch of a volunteer run non-profit. All of the reporting is done through an Excel sheet that is over 20 years old which is heavily macroized with VB Script. It doesn't run in LibreOffice, OnlyOffice, Apple Numbers, Google Sheets, or even online in MS Office 365(!). It only runs on a locally installed copy of Excel running on a machine with a printer installed. We're working on moving to something better, but the people at the higher levels are incredibly resistant to change.
Yeah...., gamepass π₯² the only thing that holds me there at the moment.
I have to keep a spare bootable drive laying around for these muppet companies who only have firmware update mechanisms on windows, my monitor and thunderbolt dock being two that come to mind.
