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.

I started with openscad and moved to freecad. Freecad is powerful but definitely not perfect but it has suited my needs fairly well.
I'm still a holdout for superslicer but I did migrate my profiles to PrusaSlicer for those sweet organic supports.
Second for freecad. The curve to learn can be high but it's free and works relatively well. Just make sure whatever YouTube tutorials you watch use the same version you have cuz they like to move or add features based on version. If u have an old version it might not have the tool or layout a video with the newer version has...
FreeCAD needs contributions to help it reach 1.0.
