If OP cant use more than one disk at once, how can they benefit from mergerfs?

Im not afraid of command line, but also dont feel like linux guy yet. The thing is that installing and using some distros are way easier than windows. I installed POP OS recently and cant believe how smooth and easy it was. Average windows users might not need command line at all on distro like that

Im interested what people recommend. If you dont find any, what about just printing to another pdf file? Wouldnt that remove attachments?

Thx mate.

I ended up downloading new version and then installed 2016 by following guide from new one. It uses different activation method which is allowed, so no need to hide VM.

I don’t know, I got my installation back in 2016. Tbh, I was looking for another installation, but all I got looks the same. I can signup on rutracker if that is solution, but is it? do you know?

I don’t know is it allowed to talk about piracy here? :D Please warn me if its not.

First of all, I own a SW2016 license and that’s why I’m trying to install the same version on another PC. I’m willing to switch version if needed, cant go back to dual boot windows anymore :D Some people obviously successfully masked virtualization. There are examples, but I couldn’t figure out myself:

example 1: For Windows VirtualBox virtual machine use “hidevm.bat”

example 2: SolidWorks_Spoof.sh

example 3: link

I was hoping I just need to modify my virtualbox on linux, but seems like its much more complex. I’m still reading and doing my best, but I’m not even sure are guides made for host OS or guest OS

Any tips how to try this?

Solidworks 2016

Tbh I see only one, but maybe im using wrong instance. Ill look again, it would be much easier if I find one that doesnt need activation.

It would be nice if I could find one

This looks promising, will give it a try thx!

Thx

Thx for detailed answer. Il check ot the links

Im trying to install solidworks 2016 and Im getting same error like the one on the next link:

https://serverfault.com/questions/727347/solidworks-activation-license-mode-is-not-supported-in-this-virtual-environment

Everything I find seems like possible at first, but then too dificult to understand and possibly outdated

Mate I dont own any of them, but open source is easy life. Prusa uses marlin afaik which is awesome and you can always change to klipper which is even better imo. Im in this hoby for 10+ years and prusa was always recommended by users. Bamboo looks amazing, but I wouldnt go for baby company with properary crap over big and famous prusa, the inventor of this kind of printers.

Also dont wait, just buy one. They didnt change that much hardware wise after adding heated bed. In my opinnion 3D printers are much better now compared to 10y ago, but 90% because of the community. Hardware is better, software is much much better, but community is what makes it rly good for new people. It means you can buy any popular device and you will get better support than any company can even imagine. Even better if you go open source route.

Whatever you chosey there are plenty of resources online including Lemmy, arm yourself with patience and enjoy the ride

Yeah its sad. But dont lose hope, Im sure Im gonna run proper CAD on linux before I die haha

I was on the same boat 15 years ago. Still waiting solidowrks replacement on linux haha. All open source or free CAD is okayish, but they cant replace proper software like solidworks. Inventor, catia, proe, they are all decent, but solidworks became kinda industry standar, so better stick with it since you already have some experience (its easy to switch between them). Compatibility will stop you from using any other if you need to share files (not step or stl) with someone. Even different versions of SW (every few years) are not backward compatible. Solidworks is almost the only reason why I still have windows

Maybe Im just lucky, bought tens of SSDs and never had problems like that. Well many of them failed including samsung evo, so I guess its just important to have backup, warranty and luck

Thx, this is interesting. Im using duckdns atm, but would be nice to replace it with some local scrip if possible

Does solidowrks exist on linux? CAD software is almost the only thing that holds me back from switching to linux completely.

Im not sure about matlab, but checkout R
