Also fusion 360 is free for personal use and is a lot more user friendly

That’s a bad marketing decision on their end.

Not really, it’s a completely insignificant share of the market they alienate by not supporting Linux.

Sadly, this is the truth.

Learning fusion 360 at home is like getting word or excel to use at home. Freecad is freedom like libre office.

The whole point of switching to FreeCad (for me) is to get of proprietary software from shitty companies.

Yeah that’s fair. But I don’t pay to use it.
I didn’t pay for my copy of Photoshop or illustrator either.

Supporting actual free and open solutions >> piracy though IMO.

I 100 percent agree that if you can use open source, then do it.
I haven’t tried openscad but I’m willing to try it. I did start learning 3d CAD on FreeCAD and I had a bad time.
Actually when I first saw this post I thought openscad was the program I had previously used but after double checking, I realized I was mixed up.
Hey I love blender and it’s Open source and it’s always evolving and improving.
I use other open source like audacity and shotcut.
But sometimes there isn’t anything better than a proprietary software. Ive never found a comparable replacement for Photoshop, Camera raw, or illustrator. I also like paint tool sai. It’s not free exactly but it is a one time small fee. Small company owns it.
So Ill just keep using my pirated versions of those Adobe programs.
But I’m always open to finding alternatives.
