Linux Pros - I don't even notice anymore after decades of use. I think it's great. I guess i could say that it's nice that it won't try very hard to protect you from yourself.

Linux's Cons - CAD software still sucks which means i'm never going into a career based on design, engineering, or 3d printing. Also, I guess I could say it won't try very hard to protect you from yourself.

    3d printing is fine. It's the designing which is a PITA. On the other hand, kiCAD is thriving so that's one thing a maker doesn't need to worry about

    True, but 3d printing get's boring real fast when a person can't design their own custom models. -I tend to forget that kiCAD even qualifies as CAD but I also never got far enough into the hobby of electrical engineering to design my own PCB's, so that's my fault for leaving it out.
