About to start my 3D printing journey and I see FreeCAD can become frustrating due to crashes and bugs.
Was wondering what software would you recommend that works on Linux?

Tangential:
Would it be useful to create a wiki woth these kinds of FAQs in the community info section? I see the Reddit ones have an extensive wiki for example, might be useful here

Edit: thanks everyone for the suggestions and clarification, will check all of these out!

How about OpenSCAD or BRLCAD?

Unpopular opinion - I use Onshape (dot com) because it works well and is accessible from all my machines.

Free tier license yadda yadda, it's not FOSS.

Honestly, since the 1.0 (and new 1.1) releases, FreeCAD is significantly more stable and more user friendly than you give it credit for. I have only crashed my copy once so far and have been able to work around its other feature limitations with some creativity. Most complaints about it stem from the 0.26 and older beta releases.

If you just want to do artistic/surface modelling, Blender works fine, although learning it might make you want to pull your hair out.

I've heard of BRL-CAD as another open source Linux compatible 3d cad software, but I've not bothered to try it just yet.

I think so as well. FreeCAD got way better over the years.

It's not a pro solution by any means. I'm sure you can do stuff in it but I would never draft for a living in that program.

A vm or onshape is the only sane method

Oh absolutely not. None of the open source cad software are enterprise level, freecad is especially bad at turning a part design into a 2d cad drawing.

But thats not what OP was asking, so.

Same. I love FOSS, and understand that the licensing can be a deal breaker, but onshape is some solid software
