Unfortunately I have and there is currently not any Foss alternative to solidworks. The number of extensions and features and ui automation options is crazy. I would suggest cracking it but that might not make an employer comfy

Edit: on my home computer I have been using manjaro and endeavor exclusively for a few years. I am an advocate of Foss and Linux. I hope something does become available.

I think that would be nice. It would hopefully allow meaningful search and filter. Trying to find spec comparisons on Amazon is terrible, they don’t support exclusions, and they basically sort by ads
