What linux were you using if you don't mind asking?

@Guenther_Amanita @jackpot

Nobara has a pile of graphics optimizations, as well as OS fixes for programs like Blender and daVinci Resolve. It should work well for other CAD programs.

At this time Fedora. I used both the Flatpak and native package, but both were very prone to crashes.
I used it for some time too on Windows, same problem. It isn't a Linux issue, it's a FreeCAD issue. It's too convoluted and bloated, while probably not having enough maintainers.

You should try arch or an arch fork, arch doesn't leave broken upstream pkgs unpatched too long, either they work or they are out

@Guenther_Amanita

I am already.
While I don't plan to use FreeCAD in the near future, I already use Arch in Distrobox on Fedora Atomic. I quite like it, but still mostly refer to Flatpaks first when possible, since they have a lot of users and are better sandboxed.
