I know this might be a couple months old, but I didn’t know we already passed 4%.

Report: Linux was on 6.34 percent of computers last month if you count ChromeOS.

What are the reasons one wouldn’t count ChromeOS? I guess I don’t know much about it, is it somehow “less Linux” than your run of the mill Ubuntu/Debian, Arch, openSUSE, etc?

Count me in! Switched to Linux Mint for my DD last month.

Only thing I’m missing is a very dead simple 3D modeling replacement for the Windows one (the others have a steep learning curve). I’ll have to find a browser based option…

It’s unfortunate that the Adobe suite is not on Linux. FreeCAD and Blender are the standard of 3D modeling on Linux but Adobe Web has been picking up steam lately.

If you have two computers you can add the program to Steam on Windows and Stream it.

If it’s not very performance heavy then you could run it in a VM and use something like Dropbox or Mega to sync your work through the Internet.

If the files are very large I’m not sure, but I think you might be able to mount a shared filesystem that’s used by both the VM and the Linux host
