Hi everyone, Not sure if this is interesting to anyone but I'll document my outcome here for anyone wanting to install Autodesk Fusion 360 under xUbuntu 18.04 and maybe other distros of Linux.
Prerequisite
curl https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key -O
sudo apt-key add winehq.key
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
sudo apt install --install-recommends winetricks
winetricks atmlib gdiplus msxml3 msxml6 vcrun2017 ie8 corefonts fontsmooth=rgb winhttp win7
winetricks d3d11=disabled
Installation
curl dl.appstreaming.autodesk.com/production/installers/Fusion%20360%20Admin%20Install.exe -O
7z x -osetup/ "Fusion%20360%20Admin%20Install.exe"
curl -Lo setup/platform.py github.com/python/cpython/raw/3.5/Lib/platform.py
sed -i 's/winver._platform_version or //' setup/platform.py
wine setup/streamer.exe -p deploy -g -f log.txt
Once up and running select DirectX 9 for graphics driver in Fusion preferences and then re-enable d3d11 (DirectX 11) in winetricks.
Updates
Same as installation but flag an update in step 5.
wine setup/streamer.exe -p update -g -f log.txt
Enjoy, Mick
