From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fusion 360 :(

Yes i know theres wine versions But they just dont work the same. And randomly crash.

Yes i know free cad exists, but it feels so clunky and is so much diffrent than fusion/inventor

Never got down with FreeCAD. BricsCAD has a native Linux version and works well for me, but it's expensive. Recently, I've moved over to OpenSCAD. Works very well for me, but it might be hit or miss, depending on what UX you like, and what functions you need.

I 100% agree, and have Fusion360 in my VM. But there is a method to FreeCAD’s madness and once you get it, FreeCAD begins to make sense.

I found it hard to go back to fusion especially with the amount of control I had with my designs.

Also FreeCAD V1 is out, and it’s a marked improvement over their previous releases. Might be worth a try.

If you just want CAD without CAM then the free variant of OnShape is amazing.

And randomly crash.

Sounds like wine is emulating correctly!

I miss it too, since I need it for school. Though it is available online.
