Solidworks user here. This is true.
My RX480 is still killing it in 2023!
I might try with my home machine, one day. I just know what happened when I tried to use the wrong driver version for my GPU. It wasn’t one that was certified by Solidworks, so lots of weirdness happened - configurations in assemblies kept reverting to other configurations, and things didn’t seem to “stick.” Switched to a certified driver, and problems went away. Well, most of them. It is still Solidworks, keep in mind.
Just tried downloading RedReader and after logging in, its no longer showing any NSFW content :(
I’ve also tried a number of free alternatives and none of them work like Solidworks. Plus, I have so much automation I’ve built into it that it’s really hard to migrate. I use VBA scripts and Excel to drive PDF export options, all driven from a custom properties tab. So much automation that I’ve hand-built that I wish I could just drop into Linux and be in my way :(
I would love to switch completely to Linux, but the Engineering software I use is specific to Windows and their certified drivers (Solidworks). However, my home computer may get the switch sooner than later! I love how well SteamOS works and now I want it on my main machine.
I post, therefore I am.
I just picked up Shadow of the Tomb Raider after not having touched a Tomb Raider game since PS1, and still never finishing them. It’s pretty good! It feels a lot like God of War but with Lara Croft. Makes me want to pick up the previous iterations to get more of the story, since I’m a bit lost, but it’s easy to fill in some of the blanks.
