    True, the biggest sore points of Linux is Windows software support. This probably won’t work for you because you seem to use AutoCAD for work, but for me I was able to just find alternatives to programs that were not available anymore when I switched to Linux.

      For sure. I would love to ditch Autocad, but that would require me convincing my entire industry. I hate AutoCAD.

          Sure, but it’s also not easy to pivot an entire workforce to a new software platform. I work in architecture and the industry on a whole runs on the smallest possible margins and is managed by boomers that can barely mark up a pdf.

            …that can barely mark up a pdf.

            This seems to suggest they can download, locate, possibly extract, and then open one.

            I’m genuinely awe struck. Yours are practically self-reliant compared to ours! :(

          It’s OK if it’s FOSS. Imagine if Adobe Acrobat was FOSS and PDF was an open standard - it would have double the features and 10 times less suck.
