I've been fortunate enough to get a tour of Pier 9 in SF, I saw there that Autodesk cares about (partial) openness in their development! So I hope this is just an 'oversight' because nobody thought about using the application in this way. But in this case I'm willing to jump through the hoops myself to resolve the caveats. I understand that Autodesk, in good economical concience, can't dedicate resources to support Linux. I hope this isn't done to intentionally hold me from installing the application on my machine, but it is sad to watch. Fusion 360 requires a minimum of Apple Mac OS X El Capitain (10.11) or higher." (side note: does this mean the entire installer is the same for Windows and Mac OS? Because if it's just a different wrapper that would make it interesting.) It states: "What's wrong? Your computer does not meet the OS requirements for installing and running the software. The Fusion installer starts, without any hassle, but after about 15 seconds I'm greeted with "Unmet system requirements".
I set up Proton 3.7 and told PlayOnLinux that I wanted to install an unlisted application through the Proton setup. So today I downloaded the installer on a Windows machine, put the file on a USB drive and headed over to a Linux host. (thanks again, I know, but I still want to download this file anyway)
I tried to mention this over Twitter, but I got a standard message that this behavior was because my OS was not supported. It's great that it mentions that although I'm already aware of that fact. As a Linux user, no option is given, it just states that your OS is unsupported. As a Mac user, you get redirected to the DMG download, as a Windows user you get redirected to the. Here's the problem: On the Fusion website it is checked which OS is running on the host machine. However, the Fusion installation process is actively working against me and I'm not sure if it is intentional, or just a 'bug'. This would be a huge plus for FabLabs, Makerspace and Hackerspaces (which is more than a small part of the Instructables community). It would require no development efforts on Autodesks part and if it were to work gracefully, it could be added as a PlayOnLinux setting to make it trivial to get Fusion 360 running on Linux based machines. I myself have experience running Windows software natively on a Linux host through Proton with stunning graphics performance.ĭuring the last couple of weeks I've spent some time over the evenings to figure out if Fusion 360 would run this way. Proton has proven itself to be extremely well tuned for a lot of graphical applications, not only games. Valve recently released Proton, a new emulation layer on top of WINE.
