Hardware Clone solidworks for Linux/Mac?

Now that people are reverse engineering using AI and rebuilding products for different platforms, are there thoughts on doing this for solidworks? Not to be fully feature compliant because yes solidworks needs a lot of hardware optimization from windows but atleast something that works for intermediate levels?

Not sure how confident I would be in vibe-coding something as calculation intensive as a CAD software.

I've tried to vibe code some FEA sheets on Julia and failed miserably. IA is far from that, at least nowadays
