That's nice. Some of us have work to get done though.

I’d love to see a complete CAD package that feels more in line with Inventor. Ondsel is definitely getting there, but it’s PDM (like git, but for parametric CAD) is still closed source and not self-hostable. Their git repo is also a bit confusing. Apparently part of their patchset on the “flavor” branch they ship isn’t open to the public? Still, nice to see a (partially) FOSS solution.

have you checked out freecad?

for the pricetag ($0) i'm pretty impressed

Use work machines for work. Compartmentalized when you can.

Yes, and what does it change for the purpose of this post? The question wasn't what's the best software you use in your leisure time for non-work purposes.

And use Linux for work, what's your point? You seem to imply Linux is only for personal.

My point is that you should not be spending time trying to use Linux on a work device.
