Onshape has a free tier, though all the cad files you make in it are publically available. That being said, it’s easy to use and, since it’s browser based, completely comparable with linux

Some of the installs can be a little weird, but I’ve never had anything that I couldn’t get running. Vscode has an install for tumbleweed https://code.visualstudio.com/Download

The major “issue” is the package names are different between Debian and tumbleweed, so if you’re installing software from github that isn’t directly provided by suse/appimage/flatpak then a lot of times you’ll need to install the dependencies manually by finding the corresponding packages (since most github repositories have directions for Debian/Ubuntu and not suse)

Or you could just use distrobox

I’ll +1 tumbleweed. Rolling and stable, it’s been great

I had no idea that (open)SUSE was so security minded in their packaging. It makes sense in retrospec. It sucks they didn’t catch this earlier, but this response makes me happy to use tumbleweed
