From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How likely is it the Proton can be used to make native Windows applications (especially CAD-Software) run on Linux? Beside my own desperate desire to do that I guess there would be others out there eagerly to switch OS. For the software providers it seems to be a great opportunity toacquired new customers (at first glance).
Gstarcad 2022 and 2023 (I haven't tested the latest versions) work perfectly on linux via wine and are 100% compatible with autodesk's dwg format.
