    It’s very quirky compared to Fusion360. If they made it at least a little bit smoother to use, at least for my tastes in CAD Software; I would be all in.

      Yeah I am having too much friction getting Fusion360 to work on my Linux Mint, I know there are methods but with the registration as a hobbyist and using a container… Got too much, you can blame me as a user not being invested enough to get it working, and installed FreeCAD from the Linux store hassle free.

      The quirks I can work around, sometimes it makes me go back and redesign another iteration to avoid the quirk and then also improve my design as a bonus

        I haven’t had any luck with Fusion360 and bottles lately. I saw the installer once after some tinkering and the problem never launched.

        Granted, I’ve recently had all of my bottles stop working for some reason, despite not changing anything.

        OnShape is another option that has a free plan and works on Linux, since it runs in the browser

          To be fair, fusion 360 also has a free plan, and they also have a version of it that runs in the browser. However, it might be the slowest 3d modeling ever known to man, but it does still work.
