I hear ya both about CAD software. I've been using DesignCAD 3D Max forever (+/-10%) and I really don't want to learn a new package. That's why I haven't yet spent any time on FreeCAD.
My laptops run Zorin Linux which is based on Ubuntu but comes with a desktop GUI which looks/acts a lot like Windoze. For anyone familiar with Win7, learning to navigate the Zorin desktop would be trivial.
I don't know how well the current version of WINE supports Win10 or Win11 programs. A long time ago I played with WINE and Windoze apps. At the time, WINE did what it was supposed to do. As time has gone on, more and more Win software has been ported to Linux so I haven't needed WINE. Examples: Firefox, Thunderbird, ArduinoIDE, LibreOffice.
Back to dual boot: The one criticism I have is that the Win partition can not directly access files on the Linux partition and vice versa. My work around is to have a NAS drive which both Win and Linux can access. Any file stored on the NAS by one OS can be accessed by the other OS. A little clunky but it works.
Yep we are waaay off topic. In road racing lingo, "We've put four wheels off [track]".
To the OP, thanks for what you've done to ST-12. I've downloaded and saved a copy of your work.
