    Good for you! Seriously!

    For the rest of us, a few notes on how you accomplished this would be sha-weet! I think sketch up is the most approachable 3d program, but all my “post Windows” attempts have resulted in crashes and freezes. 😥

      you have to keep in mind that you can’t even install SU24 with Wine, so a portable version is a must which mean sail the high seas is the only way to obtain it (appnee dot com)

      • here is how I did it in order (you need a portable SketchUP2024 and latest version of visual c++ 64bit and 32bit)
      • 1, install Lutris (not sure if it work with Bottles or plain wine but this is the only way I know works)
      • 2, install Wine normally (sudo pacman -S wine) it should come with system 9.17 or higher
      • 3, open Lutris and let it download dependencies
      • 4, create a new “game” entry inside Lutris set Runner to system 9.17 and executable location to visual c++ and install it normally
      • 5, if you try to run SU now (change location from visual c++ to SketchUP exe) it will crash to fix that you need to install a windows component inside winetrick (by click on the glass wine icon on the bottom>winetrick>Select the default wineprefix>install a Windows DLL or component>ucrtbase2019)
      • 6, now you should be able to run it but you might see a black screen, to fix that you just have to restart the app a few time then you should be able to click on the check box and it take you to the home screen, it will crash the first time you open a template/model then you can just reopen it and can create a template just like normal

        In terms of pirated versions, has anyone managed to get more modern versions of Office or Photoshop working from pirated versions? I’ve been quite curious about it for a while.

    I literally used sketchup today for the first time since moving to fusion 2 years ago. Had to modify a really old model. It was dreadful compared to fusion and sketchup crashed once when merging edges but surprisingly i still knew how to do what I wanted

        Autodesks hell in the cloud called fusion 360.

        A real* CAD which is free for hobbyists**.

        *If you use sketchup long enough, you know I’m right.

        **With increasing restrictions and only win/mac compatibility.

        Could you elaborate on this further? Is it just a generic KDE panel? How did you combine the two to get that effect?

        Specifically how did you get the min Max close buttons from the active window titlebar to merge into the panel like that?

        I known you can set no titlebar and frame for a window but how do you get the window buttons into the panel?

          Yeah it’s just plain KDE panel, for the buttons I use “application title bar” from KDE widget store that’s all I used for the panel customization

    Sketchup has always worked pretty well with Wine. It’s always just been installing a couple of things with winetricks (like vc runtimes) and then it usually works fine.
