    Let's be creative. This is a cushty, step-by-step tutorial showing how to install and configure SketchUp Make 2017 in Linux using WINE, including installation of the main program and dotNET framework, plugins configuration - Kerkythea, LuxCore Render, Maxwell Render, workaround for blank windows in some of the menus by using Internet Explorer ( IE8 ) libraries via winetricks, some other tips and tricks, and more. Should be good.

    I admire your dedication Mrk!
    However this is a good example that explains why many people won't touch to Linux and stay with Windows.
    So much easier in many instances.

    Oh yes, of course, this is beyond ordinary people - but for people who do want to make the transition ...
