So I recently switched to All Linux, All The Time. No real complaints. But back in my windows days, I more or less realized that Fusion 360 really is That Damned Good. Basically every aspect and feature is intuitive in ways that just seem wrong for a CAD tool

It looks like I can use wine and some funky scripts to run a significantly older build and… I might do that. Or I’ll go back to tinkercad. And, obviously, FreeCAD is what I should use and FreeCAD might have the worst UX on the planet.

Are there any good middle ground tools? Not quite as good as FreeCAD but works on linux/wine? Or am I gonna get my TinkerCAD on?

Thanks

    Honestly if you want best free cad program there is nothing close to FreeCAD, sure UI isn’t super modern but as someone who had to use CATIA in high school it looks amazing, just slap dark theme on it so it doesn’t hurt your eyes. If you are up for paid version there is BricsCAD but price is spicy, not sure if it is possible to find pirated version for linux or if you are even interested in fucking with that.
