In my CAD class, the instructor requires explicitly AutoCAD because “that’s the industry standard.” As we know, AutoDork are a bunch pricks who refuses to get up from Microslop’s lap, so I am in a tight spot rn.

Should I use a VM to run or would ACAD Web do the trick? Honestly, I can even try to push my luck with another CAD program that supports .dwg files.

    It may be worthwhile to switch to windows or buy another computer if you can afford it. There’s a super cheap and decent mac option for students if you can scrounge up $500. If your present computer can handle the workload you could even put windows on it for school and use a $100 old laptop to run linux for your personal stuff.

      The problem is $100 dollars is too much money here, ~5000 bucks. If I buy that I won’t be able to afford my bills. Switching back to Win10 if all else fails sounds way more affordable.

        Those are inflated American prices. Whatever I said is probably much cheaper where you’re at.

        Might be worth it to go ahead and switch back to windows now before you are in a position where you need to do so quickly in order to complete some task or assignment.

        Look at the massgrave instructions for 21h2 iot ltsc, it’ll make your life easier.

          I just checked it, and the cheapest option we have is around 40k, jfml. The reason for the expensiveness is the stores inflate the prices, and the taxes double the already ridiculous prices.

          Good to know! I might even try to dualboot using their ISOs instead.
