Any Workarounds for Running AutoCAD on Linux?

In my CAD class, the instructor requires explicitly AutoCAD because “that’s the industry standard.” As we know, AutoDork are a bunch pricks who refuses to get up from Microslop’s lap, so I am in a tight spot rn. Should I use a VM to run or would ACAD Web do the trick? Honestly, I can even try to push my luck with another CAD program that supports .dwg files.

First thing you should check is if the school offers VDI - Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. My college has VDI, where you can access a GPU accelerated Windows machine from your browser, preinstalled with tools like Autocad, Photoshop, and other stuff. If your school doesn’t, then you should look at options like VM’s. The problem, however, is that CAD and a lot of other software is GPU intensive, and simply using it in a VM might be too slow for practical usage.

I asked them about VDI, and they asked me back what is it. Not surprising considering every semester course choosing becomes a nightmare. I will use it for doing homeworks and exams, so speed isn’t my concern.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
