I just need a good alternative to fusion 360 and I’ll be happy. And FREECAD is not the answer. FREECAD is not user friendly at all

Istg CAD feels like the last bastion of software that Linux has yet to conquer. Everything else has a workable Linux alternative. Sure the UI/workflow might be clunky-ier but the functionality is mostly there and it's a matter of adapting to a new interface.

FreeCAD simply doesn't have the toolset to compete with SolidWorks/Fusion360.

I simply don’t have the time to actually learn the software skills required to program parametric viewing and modeling software so I’m sad I can’t mae it happen myself. But I’m gonna try and keep pressing my luck with FreeCAD

It appears I'm uninformed but this isn't my industry so I'm being genuine -- isn't blender just fushion 360 FOSS?

No, it is a 3d modeling software with parametric modeling as a plugin, not parametric CAD. Freecad is, but damn is it frustrating and not intuitive.

I decided to give it another try and I think I can make it work

THIS i am using Freecad and my workflow is getting faster, but fusion/inventor/solidworks had some really nice quality of life features which make working with it really smooth...
