    Mastercam and Solidworks have pretty garbage ratings on WINEHQ as well. I wonder how well they would work on ReactOS, if at all.

    Well, stop using such vampiric software that ties you to the Dark Master in Redmond. Drive a steak through their hart, spinkle them with holey water, and bedeck them with a garland of garlic. After all these years, I am sick, and tired, of people claiming they are force to support a monopoly! Well, no shit, janrinok, that is how it stays a monopoly! Break the ties, Cross the streams, punish the proprietaries, and bring about the new world of free software. Or, die in the fire that will be Windows 12!! You have been warned.

      Ok, point me towards an actual professional level CADCAM software that runs on Linux, that can do what I do with Mastercam and Solidworks. I'll wait.

      And before you tell me to learn to code and write it myself, look up how many man hours went into it. I don't have a spare few hundred lifetimes to write it myself, on the side, while running my machining business.

      Maybe I can have an AI do it for me in a few years...

        If I was a gambling man, I would put a ton of money down on it not happening.

    I'm considering Tiny 11 for if/when I finally have to leave Win 10 behind. I hardly knew ye! I was on 7 until mid 2020.
