Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.

I’ve considered Windows a toy OS for decades because the only use case anyone can legitimately make for needing to use it is to play games.

Ah, there's Adobe and maybe some 3D modelling software

Adobe is sadly huge for design professionals. Also fuck Adobe

I was looking at Ubuntu studio which can work with adobe filetype, but i wouldn't switch unless i had a backup machine with adobe software just in case.

Cries in professional CAD-Software-User-Noises

Fact. I only still use it because of game compatibility.

Its the only os with functional cad as well. Freecad is a user hating joke.

I've used several CAD solutions as a toolmaker. And tested even more. All Windows only. I wear the sackcloth and ashes of FreeCAD at home because

1: It's free and I don't need to buy a subscription. Billed monthly or annually-- your choice. I can use FreeCAD as I see fit.

  1. It does NOT require me to store my data in the cloud. I have worked on things that were trade secrets.

  2. If my internet connection goes down I can't access my work with the full ability to manipulate it.

  3. I absolutely detest the clown car UX that is Fusion 360. I don't want to click an icon and get a dropdown menu that's a dozen entries long, then click one of those and getting a submenu that's ANOTHER 6 entries deep. Ain't nobody got time for that shit.

  4. Learning difficult things does not scare me.
