I also know that most engineers do not have a say in what OS they are using, as that is given to them by IT departments with very rigid rules. One guy asking for a fringe thing does at best get a boilerplate E-mail with "thanks for your interest". I know it is meaningless of me to ask you for a Linux version of Creo.

Everything else is done better, simpler, faster and gratis with Linux. Sometimes with OSX thrown in as an afterthough. Today the sole remaining reason why I need Windows is Creo. It used to be the case that Linux required special skills, and the ubiquitous use of MS Office together with suites of other expensive tools (hello!) that only worked in Windows. Basically, I do not feel that it has my best interests is a focus, rather that Windows is a platform for monetizing me as a product. However, Windows is going in a troubling direction what with the telemetry, the badgering about cloud solutions, ads, et cetera. I understand that PTC is not really interested in developing for anything else that Windows. We are doing secret things of a nature I am not allowed to disclose. Not having to airgap Windows development PCs to prevent telemetry and other threats to our privacy and national security. Not having to swap between computers, reboot between systems, run stuff in VMs. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization? What is the use case for your organization? We would prefer Linux for a myriad different reasons.Ĥ. We do a lot of high-end development work, all our tools run in Linux except PTC Creo Parametric, which is the only thing that keeps us in Windows. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.

Describe the problem you are trying to solve. What version of Creo Parametric are you currently running?ģ.
