@26:07 he says as a business he's considering Linux on his computers because of Windows privacy violations. It's great to hear someone with such a wide audience talking about using Linux.

I'm not talking about simple stuff. That's the problem with Linux - it's only usable for simple stuff.

So CAD is simple stuff huh. So does CFD, mathematical modeling of a complex control system, robotics... Man, if only mechatronics is so simple. I daily drive arch btw.

CAD doesn't work on Linux, lol.

KiCAD is an extremely competent suite of programs with full linux support, maybe get your head out of the dirt, lol.

Except that it's not a CAD, just an electric circuit modelling tool. I mean technically it can be called CAD, but you can't do shit in it except for circuits.

CAD is “Computer Aided Design”. if you want to talk about parametric modeling, then fucking say that because it’s really a lot more niche than you think.

Photoshop is a CAD by this logic, lol. Grow up, kiddo.

Really? I would say it has less simple stuff and more complicated stuff, although it obviously has a lot of both.

I guess you mean that a lot of proprietary 'professional' software doesn't work out of the box? I guess that's true, but I wouldn't call all of the alternatives 'simple' lol
