Autodesk Fusion 360 is a cloud-based 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, and PCB software platform for product design and manufacturing, what you can use on Windows and macOS.

But the problem is that there are also people like me who don't want to use either of these two operating systems on there systems. Then these users have installed a Linux distribution such as openSUSE Leap, Ubuntu or Fedora.

And so I got the idea to start this project here to find a way to solve this problem.

I started looking at different tools and my choice was Wine!

With this nice tool we don't need longer two operating systems for Fusion 360, when we will create a fantastic project in the future or if you want to work on a project with other people.

Is that a great idea for the future?

Personally, I think this idea is good and for this reason I will do my best to give you the opportunity to use it on Linux as well!
