Hi y’all! This may be a stupid question, but here it goes anyways: I’m thinking of trying to install Linux on a laptop that’s getting slow because of a bloated Windows install. I basically only use it for some internet browsing and 3D modelling (Fusion360) and slicing for my 3D printer (Cura). Is such software available for Linux and do you have experience with it? Doesn’t need to be Fusion360 and Cura specifically. I’m prepared to learn.

Thanks in advance!

    Take a look at OpenSCAD for modeling, if you have any programming/webdev experience you’ll be making simple parts in <5min. It’s the best for making & sharing designs that are easy to modify. Just yesterday I was going to print a phone stand that was a little too narrow, and by changing a single number variable it fit perfectly.
