Canva is seriously considering porting Affinity to Linux - a move that could transform desktop Linux and challenge Adobe.

When Fusion 360 or SolidWorks in on Linux I'll switch.

    I've switched to FreeCAD from Fusion 360 myself, after the 1.0 release everything became much more user friendly (they even have an "Inventor" layout if you want to keep the same UI style).

    Granted, I'm early in my engineering career, so I probably can stomach more jank, but for my 3D printing fun and class projects, it seems fine.

    If you don't mind an older version say 2017, you can run Siemens NX 12 CAD/CAM/FEA on REL or SUSE (OpenSUSE). They dropped GUI support after NX12, now the latest version only runs non GUI for batching CAD or Drawing automation and solving etc
