  • I was new to 3d around 4years ago, and even newer to Linux.

    Fusion is often mentioned but I prefer Onshape. Fusion isn’t just a simple download and install (even on windows its a pain), but Onshape runs in the browser so I can use it on ANY PC, ans its never struggled.

    The tools in both are pretty much the same, sometimes with different names. Theres plenty of onshape tutorials online, and the help pages are good.

    For the free version of Onshape you can have unlimited files, but they are technically available publically. Other onshape users can search and use them, but unless your planing on selling them or use it for work who cares.

    Fusion brought in a limit a while ago for free accounts to have like 10 “active” documents.

    You can also start with Tinkercad online, but once you learn Fusion/Onshape and parametric design its much better.

    If your into writing code you can use scad on linux. Its an interesting way to design but I can see its benefits.

    For a slicer Orca has been fine on linux. Not sure if it works with printers outside Bambu.


  • I tried a few distro over the years. They all had issues. Mint was the first one that “just worked” without fucking a round with terminal.

    Put it on my parents PCs and they had 0 issues.

    Fedora and KDE have more “polish” but in my experience the tradeoff is bug hunting and terminal use. Not something I wanted to get into moving to a new OS.









  • Thanks for the clarification.

    So thinking outside the box would either of these work.

    A) Point my domain to Anonaddy instead of mailbox.

    Then I link the aliases to different recipients. So myname@custom to go to my fastmail and theirname@custom to go to their gmail.

    B) Leave myname@custom pointing to mailbox. Then setup a subdomain and point that to anonaddy, and use their gmail as a recipient. They’d end up with theirname@mail.custom.
