      I knoooooooow. I know arcgis is working on it at least. I’m a geologist, a ton of our geospatial programs require windows.

      But I’m about ready to experiment with a dual joot for my home set up! I really never need windows for that anymore

        Postgis and Qgis don’t require windows. ArcGIS is such bloat ware. They live by the cult following rather than merit.

          I mean yeah, same with adobe and loads of other enterprise software suites. Unfortunately, most of us have no way of convincing our enterprise to move off of their shitty suite. I personally use open his for as much as possible, but professionally I’m stuck with what my work makes me use.

        A bunch of our civil engs happily use qGIS.

        I’ve noticed Ala lot of the features on ArcGIS actually originate from qGIS after having built some mapping tools.

        Ah, I didn’t know that about ArcGIS!

        Still, the others are arguably more important to the civil industry as a whole. I personally don’t believe Autodesk or Bentley will ever support Linux, so us civil folks are stuck.

        Every person with a job needs some kind of app which doesn’t work on Linux. If you’re a teen still studying in school, then yeah, use Linux.
