Autodesk Fusion 360 is a cloud-based 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB software platform for product design and manufacturing that offers an affordable, powerful alternative to other well-known solutions on the market. ⚗️ 🔭 🔬 🔩 🛠

⚠️ But the problem is that it usually only works on systems that have Windows or macOS installed as the operating system. ⚠️

⛔️ However, I do not use either of these two operating systems on my devices! ⛔️

🐧 I'm using a Linux distribution such as openSUSE Tumbleweed and needed a solution to this problem. 🐧

🔍 I started looking at different tools, testing different approaches and ideas until I chose Wine. 🔍

🍷 Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop. 🍷

🪄 And so, with this nice tool, we no longer need two operating systems for Fusion 360 if you or I want to create an awesome project in the future. 🪄

💡 Is this a good idea for the future of Autodesk Fusion 360? 💡

🚀 I personally like this idea and for that reason I will do my best to give you the possibility to use it on Linux too! 🚀
