<ahref="https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/features">Autodesk Fusion 360</a> is a cloud-based 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB software platform for product design and manufacturing that offers an affordable, powerful alternative to other well-known solutions on the market. ⚗️ 🔭 🔬 🔩 🛠
</br></br>
⚠️ But the problem is that it usually only works on systems that have Windows or macOS installed as the operating system. ⚠️
</br></br>
⛔️ However, I do not use either of these two operating systems on my devices! ⛔️
</br></br>
🐧 I'm using a Linux distribution such as openSUSE Tumbleweed and needed a solution to this problem. 🐧
</br></br>
🔍 I started looking at different tools, testing different approaches and ideas until I chose Wine. 🔍
</br></br>
🍷 Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop. 🍷
</br></br>
✅ And so, with this nice tool, we no longer need two operating systems for Fusion 360 if you or I want to create an awesome project in the future. ✅
</br></br>
💡 Is this a good idea for the future of Autodesk Fusion 360? 💡
</br></br>
🚀 I personally like this idea and for that reason I will do my best to give you the possibility to use it on Linux too! 🚀

And would you like to use the Czech language later in Autodesk Fusion 360, then you need a <ahref="https://apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=9151466655844643882">special extension</a> what you must have bought and downloaded before you can install this with my Setup Wizard!
There are some <ahref="https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux/tree/main/files/builds">script releases</a> available, built from the release targets.
It's recommended that if you're new you start with the stable builds. Development builds are available here if you need it, but correspondingly may be less stable.
In the [development branch](https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux/tree/main/files/builds/development-branch) you will find, for example, the upcoming versions of my setup wizard, as well as builds that run with the help of Flatpak or Docker/Podman.
