<p>Welcome to Episode 82 of Destination Linux</p>
|
|
<p>On this episode of Destination Linux, as we are down 1 host, we’ve made quite a few changes to the show. We are still in the process of making these changes so please bear with us still but I think there is a lot of potential for the future. This week, we discussed the latest news such as Ubuntu 18.04’s First Point Release, The Return Of Korora, Firefox Delivering Out-Of-Process Extensions To Linux, Windows may soon be gone with Desktop as a Service Replacing it, and we’ll talk about some Linux Gaming topics like the cool Battle Royale game, Crazy Justice coming to Linux. We are also adding a brand new segment for Tips & Tricks as well as Software Spotlights. All that and much more!<span id="more-710"></span></p>

|
<p>Greetings,</p>
|
|
<p>I just wanted to throw you a quick note about some really good news and great<br />
|
|
uses on Linux. I am a Drafter / Designer by trade and have only been using<br />
|
|
proprietary software on Windows to do 3D mechanical design work. I have<br />
|
|
recently been using FreeCAD, which is a 3D Parametric solid modeler not too<br />
|
|
different than the high cost, commercial offerings. It is feature rich and has<br />
|
|
many modules for different engineering functions. This has been an exciting<br />
|
|
discovery and journey for me. I have only begun scratching the surface of it<br />
|
|
and the more I use it the more I like it. Some other noteworthy built in<br />
|
|
modules include BIM (Building Information Modeler) for doing architectural<br />
|
|
work and FEM (Finite Element Method) for doing some serious part or system<br />
|
|
analysis. From a professional and personal standpoint, this is super exciting<br />
|
|
to know that I am now free of the confinements of super expensive proprietary<br />
|
|
software for hobby projects. These are cross platform tools not exclusive to<br />
|
|
Linux but the point is, it is ON Linux and it works super well.</p>
|
|
<p>These are some exciting times!<br />
