Freecad sucks. I use it exclusively and it sucks.
But it's the only foss option and the only Linux option.
It's the reason I jumped on a cheap solidworks license, was fully intending to use it as my primary cad package but I just found it kinda clunky. To be super fair, I recall using it years ago and it's come a long way and I run it on my lab machine because Linux, but even not touching cad programs for almost a decade solidworks was just way easier to come back to.
Nah freecad still sucks. Change anything deeper and nothing recomputes correctly.
This is a result of the topological naming problem. FreeCAD currently doesn't handle this well at all. There's been a lot of work on this front though - you can use realthunder's fork which should be a lot better in this regard. Alternatively, you can avoid creating features directly on top of other features, and instead make planes and reference them exclusively.
