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.

Orca has an appimage I've been using that prints well over wifi. I've picked up FreeCAD to start learning, but I'm told the learning curve is ridiculous compared to F360 and other non-CAD modeling programs.
It's been a while since I needed to do this, but Blender had some viewport quality settings I tweaked on an old laptop years ago to smooth things out (if you haven't already tried). It might have been the anti-aliasing settings...
FreeCAD isn't terrible if you haven't already learned F360
I had to watch a bunch of videos on FreeCAD to sorta unlearn the work flow of F360 stuff but its not bad.
