    Solidworks/PDM at work. 🙄

    No it won’t be changing until Win11 actually breaks or dassault scraps PDM(actually as much or more of a trashfire as windows). I’ll just find a new career eventually.

      It took me a bit to figure out, but winapps might work for you. A couple of applications I use at work require me to have a windows VM, which is still way less of a headache than straight windows.

        Thanks for looking out but sadly it’s a company owned laptop administered by IT.

          On my work laptop I boot to Aurora Linux from an USBC caddy with an M2 SSD inside. The laptop’s internal drive is still factory fresh.

          Ask your IT guy, he might be cool with that. The laptop itself is unchanged. Windows OEM license untouched.

            Glad you have a cool IT team. As an IT guy, I also want to remind people that if you don’t ask, the answer is automatically no.
