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.

FreeCAD is a lot more okay than people give it credit for. Perhaps I just remember back to the early days when it was basically unusable.
It kind of is, but also kind of isn't. Don't get me wrong I love FreeCAD to bits and it's basically the only CAD program I use these days, but also the recommended workflow is not how any other CAD program works and is a crutch for the topo naming problem. Hopefully it's a whole other world once topo naming is sorted.
Yeah, it definitely still has a long way to go. I remember back in 2012 it felt impossible to even do basic 3d modeling, but that was more than 10 years ago.
I really want FreeCAD to work so I can get away from paying Autodesk for Fusion360.
My impression on FreeCAD is that I could probably get the result I want but I would spend most of my time fighting the software. I can't justify to spend 3 time longer on FreeCAD than Fusion360
