I hate AI slop as much as the next guy... but what if this is useful.. been looking for CAD software on Linux for ages -.-

If the latest builds aren't able to meet your needs I've been thinking about trying blender+ a parametric cad plugin. There are some limitations, but it might be able to do what I need without having a painful to learn UX

But people have been telling me freecads latest releases (maybe the nightlies?) Have gotten much better so I'll probably give it another shot

FreeCAD has become pretty good lately. If you have tested it before v1.1 (March 2026) you should certainly give it a go again.

If you're fine with programming your CAD instead of visually composing it, OpenSCAD is fine as well.
