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!

    Cura is fully available on Linux, as well as PrusaSlicer (my preferred slicer). For modelling there’s Blender of course, and I know people have had success getting Fusion360 to work with some effort (may not be a good option for a newer linux user though). I personally use OpenSCAD, but that’s very functionally different than Fusion360 and probably won’t be what you’re looking for.
