I tried using freecad a while back my previous experience being two years in blender and light designs in fusion360 that i picked up very quickly

designing a very simple shape that would’ve taken me a minute on blender or fusion, took me a good 20-30 minutes navigating errors and ui to find simple tools like extend, even after being found, making them work is an extra hassle

I would love to use freecad but its not worth the learning curve for me when i only design basic things to 3d print

for anyone afraid to make the jump to linux do it, now is the time. especially if you have an amd gpu unless you absolutely need software/games that does not support linux (and I dont mean the millions of windows games proton supports effortlessly, just a handful with kernel ac, and some pro software)

too daunting to research and learn? try in a vm and use llms to help you understand how things work

took me a week to get comfortable in arch linux after around two decades of windows
