Fucking goddamn I'd love to have a replacement to fusion 360 so I never had to touch windows again. FreeCAD is just awful, I keep coming back to it and keeping finding new issues with it. OpenSCAD is cool and useful for simple stuff, but it is not performant in the slightest and the lack of ability to fillet or chamfer edges is insane. Blender is great for 3d modeling but doesn't work well for engineering modeling.
If you dont want to run a vm you could still try installing what you need with Wine or Lutris, etc. One day we will have great software for all niches but youre right we aint there yet lol
Fusion doesn't work well with these and has only gotten worse over time.
There are some install scripts on github, but the end result is buggy to the point of being unusable.
Really unfortunate because there is no free/affordable* alternative to Fusion without large caveats.
I wasn't able to get those scripts working at all
Onshape seems to be a good CAD program that runs in the browser
Worth a try. Highly capable. It's my default.
Ooooo, somehow haven't heard of it! Looks really good, thanks!
These are the moments you live for.
Hell yeah. FreeCAD is awful. I use NX for work, and will do my personal stuff on there as well. It's all just for me, I dont sell anything. But I would still love to use my own PC for it. FreeCAD is absolutely unusable.
??? I run fedora
Presumptuous much? Why do you have to be so hostile
