Oh, AutoDesk...you have such a way with words. Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.

The FOSS stuff can do the job. You just need to tweak these 10 config files because it doesn't come with sensible defaults. Oh, and it's built against a different version of those libraries. Better downgrade two and upgrade that third one. Actually, just fork and modify the source. Much easier. What were we trying to do again?

What’s flatpak and why in the world would I need to know about it in order to use a cad program? Do you see why people don’t use this stuff?
