    How is linux compatibilty for stuff like that? I just always assumed blender, houdinifx, ue, etc. wouldn’t have good support

      Blender was made for Linux, the compatibility issues happen with windows (they’re still really rare, blender is an amazing program).

      Dunno about houdinifx, I don’t know that software.

      And I’m assuming you mean Unreal Engine with ue, in which case, game engines not only should work on every platform but they’re especially tested on linux cuz many developers use Linux.

        Onshape is an okay option for Linux (I’ve been able to do everything I used to to in Inventory), although I hate that it’s cloud based. I know that a rug pull is inevitable, but I figure I’ll stick with it until then.

      Many big studios use linux (red hat or rocky, although I’m not sure what is the industry standard distro nowadays) for their 3d side of the pipeline, that would include all of that software and more. I think Zbrush is the only one that doesn’t have official Linux compatibility and the hardest one to run, but don’t quote me on that.

      You are right in that finding good support for issues that pop up in Linux is hard, especially for the average joe that doesn’t have a team of specialized IT support. But when you make things work, the results are way more efficient.

      Well you thought wrong because the performance for these programs are way better on Linux than Windows. and as a low end Linux user that performance is important for me.

      Well, Blender and Maya run natively on Linux. And I think Houdini is available for several platforms, too. Seems Linux is amongst them. Plus we generally have good support for Windows software these days. I’m not that much into professional software, and there might be issues with licensing and copy protection… But the Windows-only games from my Steam library for example just run on my computer these days.

    CAD and other professional engineering software typically only runs well on Windows.

    There’s exceptions like the Linux-native Blender but especially Autodesk was a bad experience (a few years ago).

    That’s just a guess from my side: If you want to try Autodesk use the Windows version. Bottles makes installing wine/proton and it’s components easier. You’ll likely need DXVK for good graphics performance.

    I found this activation script for DaVinci Resolve Studio over on Reddit.

    Post for those who don’t want to visit the site for valid reasons.

    [Davinci Resolve Studio 19] Crack For Linux

    Compatibility with zlib-ng: Fedora 40 has switched from using the zlib library to zlib-ng-compat libraries, which affects DaVinci Resolve installation. However, there are workarounds to get it working. Here’s what you can do:

    First, install the necessary packages to resolve compatibility issues:

    sudo dnf install libxcrypt-compat libcurl libcurl-devel mesa-libGLU --allowerasing

    For CachyOS Everything is installed already deps wise

    sudo pacman -S fuse2

    Next, optimize compatibility by moving some libraries:

    cd /opt/resolve/libs && sudo mkdir disabled-libraries && sudo mv libglib* libgio* libgmodule* disabled-libraries

    Alternative Installation Method: If the above steps don’t work, you can try installing DaVinci Resolve using the following command (which bypasses package checks):

    SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 ./DaVinci_Resolve_19.0_Linux.run

    Next Apply the Crack

    sudo /usr/bin/perl -pi -e 's/\x74\x11\xe8\x21\x23\x00\x00/\xeb\x11\xe8\x21\x23\x00\x00/g' /opt/resolve/bin/resolve

    and that is it

    SINCE PEOPLE LWCK COMMON SENSE THIS IS LINUX ONLY. YOU WINDOWS USERS ARE ON YOUR OWN.

    19.0.3 works
