If you look at the kinds of commercial engineering applications that used to be staples of the workstation market, this is spot on. Even today, it can be hard or impossible to run them in Linux.
- Matlab
- Pro/E
- Solidworks
- Ansys
- Autocad
- Altium
- STK
- guenthert 6y agoCan't speak about all those applications, but from my (brief) experience in supporting engineering applications running on the compute cluster of a large car manufacturer in central Europe, I can say that setting those applications up / configuring them for batch processing might not be exactly trivial, but we did succeed eventually (sometimes with the help of the original developer) with all requested ones. Windows is used in this context only on the engineer's workstation -- in the cluster it's Linux only (no other *nix in sight).
- SubjectToChange 6y agoMatlab runs on Linux just fine, AFAIK.
- brandmeyer 6y agoIt does, and we use it at work this way without difficulty. But its an exception. Windows is much more common among our users, even for Matlab.
- formerly_proven 6y agoAnything that needs serious amounts of compute runs on Linux, because no one runs cluster/batch processing on something other than Linux.
