It's very quirky compared to Fusion360. If they made it at least a little bit smoother to use, at least for my tastes in CAD Software; I would be all in.

    Yeah I am having too much friction getting Fusion360 to work on my Linux Mint, I know there are methods but with the registration as a hobbyist and using a container.... Got too much, you can blame me as a user not being invested enough to get it working, and installed FreeCAD from the Linux store hassle free.

    The quirks I can work around, sometimes it makes me go back and redesign another iteration to avoid the quirk and then also improve my design as a bonus

    I haven't had any luck with Fusion360 and bottles lately. I saw the installer once after some tinkering and the program never launched.

    Granted, I've recently had all of my bottles stop working for some reason, despite not changing anything.
