I recsntly set up my PC again and had fomo when selecting a distro. First ai helped to choose, just tell it what your requirements are. Second, its Linux. After the installiert you can do whatever you want with it. Just pick one if the 3 best fitting ones

Ondsel was not a profitable product as far as I understood. Which is understandable, but I think they would have needed more time and money to make freecad a real competitor over established cad tools

I just treid it a bit. And I have to say its quite incredible how good it got! Still a bit rough but I would say its 30% better than a year ago. But maybe ondsel just got me into the mindset of this program.

Its sad to see ondsel go because I doubt we would be here without them.

I hope the freecad team sees all the incredible feedback and the next few versions will be similar improvements for usabilty!

I think its pretty cool you spend so much thought on creating a safe and fun digital environment for your children. Its important that the parents have control and overview of what the children are doing. Stay on it and stay interested how they spend their time, else they might feel neglected

It feels like its always the same with big companies trying to please their stakeholders. They just manoeuvered themselves into a very bad corner by planning super short term and trying to milk each product to their limits. All of this because they were super dominant for a long time. But as soon as they experience pressure by amd, apple m1 series or qualcom, to actually perform, they crumble under their own short term planning. It feels like their existence ist onley based on their reputation from several years back and the lack of research done by the customers

Haha thats just how capitalism treated every technological evolution. Society develops a new thing that could ease the work of thousands and enable more spare time. But instead this time is used to create even more tasks. Only difference, that ai does not really speed up things that much right now

I am in a very similar position. Ableton and some other, smaller stuff is the only program that keeps me from switching to Linux fulltime. Bitwig did not click for me yet, I have to give it a try again soon. But the problem of unopenable projects persist. There are roumors, that the push 3 standalone runs a Linux port of ableton. So maaaybe there will be a Linux version in the future? That would be wild! Until then I just dualboot. I will soon reinstall my windows partition for ableton only… I am pretty shure if bigger companies would start supporting Linux, it would take off like crazy

Makes sense. Thanks :)

What confuses me about this software, that the developer states that is not a backup software. I get that kind of, but does that mean it’s not as reliable?! :D
