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?

All the worlds software is moving online, where OS does not matter. Eventually Solidworks will come out with an online version, but in the meantime you can use OnShape.

I hate relying on internet connectivity to use my main tools. I’ll never be fully on board with cloud software.
