Engineer - New user switching from XP

[Valtam]

Hello and welcome Engineer. There is the possibility that you won't have to still run windows in order to use your CAD software. You can run windows programs from within Linux with a program called Wine. First step is to install Wine. Menu, Install Updates then Menu, System, Install Additional Software. Then head over to here - https://www.winehq.org/search?q=Bentley and have a read through some of the links there to give you an idea of compatibility. From what I have read so far, the results are very mixed. With Wine there is never a guarantee. If you are serious about leaving windows, I know it would be inconvenient to learn new CAD software, but remember this, at one time you had to learn Bentley, and nothing is ever handed to us on a plate, we have to work for what we need in order to progress.

Bitsnips has a wonderful list here of linux alternatives for windows software - https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/index...opic=833.0 also http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/08/8-bes...linux.html Welcome to the world of Linux
