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.

CAD software.

FreecCAD just released it's first full version and it's a pain to use. Back in 2018 somebody said FOSS CAD software was at least ten years behind the big windows commercial software. I think now it's about fifteen behind.

I disagree. Majority of average office workers do not use CAD software. It's not a hurdle to widespread adoption.

That really depends on the office, doesn’t it? Project Managers, Detailers and Engineers should be familiar with CAD software.

Even if for a moment we assume u r right, what about electricians? cnc ? 3D printing? etc.

Not a problem for u doesnt mean it isnt for someone else, and we aint even talkin about compatibility issues between cad software.

The software looks nice, but it seems there's no 3D capable hobby-tier. 3D modelling starts at Pro-tier, which is >$700 per year. That's a low price for commercial software, but not a good option for hobbyists

Question was not about price but about existing of such software,yes cad software will alwasy cost a lot
