BricsCad for Mac seems to be a perpetual beta app.

I have had BricsCad since V22 and it does not seem to get any better for us Mac users. I feel like Bricsys should not even say that they offer BricsCad for Mac OS at this point. Thoughts?

    Similar experience.

    Freezing, Beachballs, not regularily closing, GUI issues, missing Windows feature parity,
    not Apple ARM ready, no Metal support, …...

    And as it looks it is a bit worth on Linux with GUI issues.

    It's a pity.
    If you compare this to a flawlessly running Windows version.

    Such a great App.

    100% in agreement I have to keep a PC just to run CAD and for no other reason.

    I run my PC basically as a backup only,
    so it usually is just OFF.

    And it was built mainly as a testing device for Linux Distros,
    on real hardware, as I was not very successful testing them on VMs.
    So every few months I start it and update my Manjaro and ElementaryOS
    (unfortunately I loose my Open Suse Tumbleweed with each ElementaryOS
    upgrade and for now I gave it up)
    and I also update Windows.


    Which is what I am currently doing, trying to bring it to 24H2.
    Let's cross Fingers that this upgrade attempt will not corrupt my Windows
    installation or logs me out ….

    But before the Windows upgrade, I updated my Bricscads.
    And funnily it did not work out well - even on Windows !?

    And each time I boot into Windows, I feel that I do not want to work with
    Windows.
