Hello!

Wonder myself if there any Linux available and\or open-source CAD that can be analogue to Fusion 360? Or maybe anyone had attempt to make similar one to Fusion 360?

FreeCAD seems to be very unfriendly for me as daily user to get jump into 3D design world. Fusion 360 on the opposite - very easy to manage to intuitively and learn fastly

Thanks

P.S. Yes, beside Blender maybe?

Sounds like either the video you watched was badly made enough that they didnt even use the out of the box configuration, or you were using a completely different freecad version than in the video. Either way that hardly sounds like freecads fault. I watched MangoJellys guides and have had zero issues making models.

I wasn't implying that it was their fault. Just sharing my experience.

Fair enough, I just don't want others to read that and assume the software is unreasonably hard to learn.
