Mixed DPI multi-monitor support. This coupled with a severe lack of robust CAD and design tools means that it can't be my daily driver.
The cad tools is still correct but I've been using mixed DPI multi-monitor for a while now on plasma Wayland without any issues. I have them set to different scaling levels as well
Wayland can do mixed DPI multi-monitor setup, and Onshape is a fantastic CAD system - it runs in browser and works perfectly on Linux. I used exactly that setup profesionally for nearly 2 years.
OnShape UI is worse than FreeCAD, it's a bloody abomination.
But everyone's complaining that nothing works under Wayland. Can you guys make up your mind already?
Probably Nvidia users and devs that don't want Wayland. I have yet to encounter anything that doesn't work apart from things I only read about in arguments by devs who adamantly refuse Wayland for Reasons (TM)
Things do work on Wayland and often with less fuss. Those criticisms are often opinionated hardline views. Some have truth to them, but they throw the baby out with the bath water.
Ya, but linux can do it tho, is the important thing. Buy AMD graphics!
Mixed DPI works just fine for me in Plasma. What DE are you running?
Yeah, that's what's holding me back. Got to have my SolidWorks.
OpenSCAD is the most robust of all CADs and it works best/fastest on Linux ๐คท
Imma have to stop you right there...
I'd rather use ThreeJS for solid bodies than fuck with this cancer.
