I’ve dabbled in Linux in the past and spend the majority of my time popping between windows and mac os. I also spend a decent amount of time in powershell/terminal, but largely in the context of work.
I’m not against investing the time learn new things, but time is very scarse these days with two younger kids.
My modeling workflow is often iterative and fusion’s timeline makes it very easy to edit a feature from way back when and then propagate that change through all subsequent steps that reference that feature. You can also add entirely new features and then update the next step in the timeline to reference them. The last time I looked at alternatives this either wasn’t supported or was fickle, but based on some comments in this post that may have changed. I’ll have to give FreeCAD a try.

I second freeCAD for complicated designs. For simple stuff I use tinkercad which runs from web browser

Personally I’d say go with freeCAD even for simple designs. Its a great way to learn the software and you will not end up adjusting you designs to the limitations that tinkercad has.
Also I feel like it is difficult to do premise placement on tinkercad
