I don't say AutoCAD
Because I use Computer-Aided Design packages, not a jumped-up 2D drafting program.
Solidworks, Vectorworks, PTC Creo (pro/Engineer) et al.
Not sure on Linux editions, to be honest I've never looked. I first used Pro/engineer on real Unix.
Though it doesn't matter. There will always be some specialists who need specific hardware and software platforms to do the thing they do.
You don't give everyone a dual-socket 96GB workstation with quad graphics cards just because your senior engineers need one, and you don't force your senior engineers to work on a smartphone just because your delivery staff use them to handle their delivery paperwork.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
