tbh, I’ve already used debloating solutions on my pc, to remove lots of things from win11 (cya copilot, onedrive and edge).
I’m considering atlasos to give my machine a couple more years.
I’m not at all a linux user, and doing a lot of tech support directly or indirectly (during training) having to learn tech support for linux would be a personal pita.
that being said, if microsoft keeps on making windows more and more bloated and inefficient, and if my main PC apps were on linux (or linux compatible), I’d definitively consider switching my pc to a linux distribution.
the main limitation right now is the apps I use on a daily basis like SU.
Just vote for your top 6 preferred features.
If you have enough votes left, no harm in you voting for the same feature twice. If you don’t, just vote for the one with the most votes. This is a pretty standard way of dealing with voting systems that have limits.
I don’t know why you are so against the concept of people adding their voice to an existing request @ateliernab
well, you get my vote.
I never said that. I don’t think that.
I’m just trying to help people use the existing forum tools as effectively as possible.
Thats not how it works.
You are so wrong @ateliernab .
I just created account on this forum just to explain this to you.
People do not have time or do not bother. They just try to run it with wine or simply give up and run Windows. So it is the other way around you think it is. Linux is a very popular system now and I’m waiting eagerly for Sketchup Pro support on Linux. Nvidia went with their new open source drivers, even more reasons to finally stop ignoring your users.
3,09% Popular?
Ok, sorry for confusion in my message. I just wanted to indicate that Linux is not a “geek bubble” anymore. But I probably should not waste time here since you know better anyway. Maybe some Sketchup support will see increased activity and actually do something. Glad that @seid.cincin provided some ports to tryout. Thanks. Over and out.
Linux is more popular than ever, especially among developers, cloud computing, servers, and gaming. You may disagree about whether SketchUp should support it, but dismissing Linux users as living in a “geek bubble” is unnecessary. The same point could have been made without the condescending tone. Linux desktop usage has also reached historically high levels.
@aborisovich Have you tried Codex? From my understanding, it can help set up the Wine environment needed to run SketchUp on Linux. If you manage to get it running, I’d love to see the final result. It could be helpful to others interested in using SketchUp on Linux.
Are you running Sketchup on Atlas OS ok ?
Actually SketchUp is the only software that gives me problems, I must try at least 5 times to open a project or an empty file, according to Colin it’s because some plugins fail to load, interestingly all the plugins that fail are native plugins like dynamic components, scan essentials, Gaussian splats, if I deactivate all of them it will crash because of advanced camera tools or sandbox, if I’m lucky it will open on the first try but usually it requires at least five attempts. It used to work if I had open end the project on SketchUp 2026 then open it on SketchUp 2025, but I had to create a new name because it was a second instance of the original file, but for some unknown reason that method stoped working so now I just ignore all the bugsplats cause I’ve sent hundreds and I’m tired of it. Once it’s open I don’t have any issues, except when I use vertex tools, one of my most used plugins, I’ve sent the reports but I’ve had no answer from Thom Thom. Every other software like Qcad pro, blender, Twinmotion and the free office suite works perfectly and open very fast, the booting time is also a lot faster and I don have to deal with one drive or copilot among other parasite programs that consumed resources on the background, the only problem is that it requires a windows 11 pro license. There’s another version that doesn’t require w11 pro, it’s called ReviOS that it’s a lot easier to set up. But you may have to get rid manually of some of parasite software, it’s not complicated, I recommend Revo uninstaller it has a free version but it’s totally worth it getting the pro version. It will also helps you to get rid of softwares that are hard to uninstall, for example aurodesk software always leaves some residues in your machine and trying to delete them is almost impossible, it asks you admin permissions even if you are the admin, Revo uninstaller got rid of it in few minutes after few clicks.
Thanks for all that detail and a bit of a bummer that SketchUp is the only problematic software. Don’t suppose you tried a SU 2021 install? Agree with you on the Revo uninstaller, its a handy tool to have!
Sorry I didn’t reply sooner, we had a 6 hour internet shutdown in Sydney yesterday !
I’m pretty sure I voted in another thread, are you going to tally them all ?
