Hello, fellow users!
I am new to this forum and also quite new to the OS. I have used Ubuntu a while ago and the fact that I'm getting at is, does Zorin OS have native support for QCAD?
I have installed the Windows version through WIne, but would be interested to hear from anyone about this.

Hi, I don't believe any Windows application can run in GNU/Linux without the use of WINE or Cross-Over from Codeweavers - but even then not all Windows Applications will necessarily run.

Yes, I know what you mean, but Ubuntu supports QCAD natively. That's why I was asking, because it doesn't seem to work natively on Zorin.

Interesting! Was that even without having WINE running somehow in the background? :D

Qcad works just fine on zorin. Just download the tar.gz and unzip to folder of your choose. Then launch it from that folder ./qcad.
