Title basically.

One of my windows computers, which happens to be the one I happen to do the most CAD work on, can't upgrade to windows 11 due to having an Ivy Bridge era Xenon (it's an E5-1680 v2 for the curious, older used workstations are fantastic bang for the buck computers).

Switching to Linux on this computer has been in the cards for a while, but I hadn't been in a hurry to do it. Looks like my hand might be getting forced...

You really shouldn't connect win10 machines to the Internet at some points. Legacy shit is fine and fun. But don't go shaking hands with danger.

welp, looks like I won't be using fusion when I inevitably need some design program on my personal computer again

Spoiler: Win 11 will say it can't run on anything.
