I recently got a new job that involves working with Linux and it's somewhat opened my eyes to it, so I'm considering switching my OS on my personal laptop to Linux (currently running Windows 10). I'd be looking at using Ubuntu, and I'm not quite sure whether to go for out and out Linux, or simply set up Ubuntu as a VM, with Win10 still being the primary OS as that would allow me to continue to use Proteus. I know that a lot of the guys here run Linux so I wanted to see what you had to say about PCB design software on Linux, I know there's KiCad however I've not used it so I couldn't really comment obviously. Is there much else out there for Linux? Would you recommend I continue to use Win10 so I can continue to use Proteus? Keen to see what everyone has to say...
Ps, if it's of any importance/ if it makes any difference - I'd be working with AVRs (which is where Win10 might come in handy again due to AS7 but AFAIK I can use Eclipse with AVR? Which I'll also be using to work with...), STM32s, and TI Sitara processors - and only on personal projects (non-commercial).
