Autodesk Fusion 360 on Linux
In the Web Browser
Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Debian,... users can finally use Autodesk Fusion 360 in the Linux Browser now.
On Chromium 55.0.2843.0 I get NET::ERR_CERTIFICATE_TRANSPARENCY_REQUIRED
.
Windows version
Crashes before it even launches with https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/fusion-360/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Fusion-360-sign-in-failure-due-to-service-outage-unexpected-authentication.html
WINE on Linux
It seems like it is now possible to get it running in WINE, see https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=36468 (not tested yet) - also see the comments below and freel free to add your hints
What is missing is to make a Fusion 360 installation immutable (so that it gets frozen and locked in time) and able to be used without an Internet connection. I would like to burn it to CD-ROM and be able to always have the same version without any changes and without having to go online. Unless Autodesk gives me that ability, I won't be using their software. (Autodesk could introduce an update with features that I don't like any time, or shut down their server stuff.) I need to be able to archive my work and the software that goes along with it, and be able to use it 30 years from now. Everything else is not long-term reliable for me. Who knows whether Autodesk is still around 30 years from now. Or say 300 years. (We can still read paper drawings from 300 years ago no problem.)
Alternatives
Since Autodesk is known for removing Linux support, forcing users to activate software online, renting rather than selling software, and for reducing capabilities in free plans, you may want to consider alternatives to Autodesk software.

Yes, Fusion360 finally works under Wine :-)
(tested with: wine-4.0-rc2, Ubuntu 16.04LTS).
Dowload Fusion Admin Installer:
wget dl.appstreaming.autodesk.com/production/installers/Fusion%20360%20Admin%20Install.exe
Then you need to extract the Fusion 360 Admin Install.exe and change some files:
Finally start the installation with:
wine setup/streamer.exe -p deploy -g -f log.txt --quiet
Open a second terminal to check the installation status:
wine setup/streamer.exe -p deploy -g -f log.txt --quiet
When install is finished (takes a while since it will download stuff from the internet), run Fusion 360 for the first time (its located somwhere like: /.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Autodesk/webdeploy/production/2999ad1e8304a04ebab33de5fd0e13a002d7edaa/Fusion360.exe), log in with your login info.
Then go to
preferences
and inGeneral
underGraphics driver
selectDirectX
9.If done so, kill Fusion360 and Wine with
wineserver -k
.Now enable DirectX again with:
winetricks d3d11=enabled
If you run Fusion now, you can even connect to your cloud files and use all functions as it would run on Windows!

If it does not work, make sure you are online and try to install again, sometimes it works after a few attempts.
Make sure to set to Windows 7 wit winecfg
