Cad/Cam software for Linux

What is the best cad/cam software for linux in 2020?

The one you like best (this is very subjective.) Kind of a what ever works for you.

For me, Inkscape with included gcodetools for plasma cutting, i can have anything i need in about 5 minutes cutting on the machine.

I am working solidcam and postprocesssors for 3 and 4 axis for linuxcnc. Works very well.

Has anyone tried this?

github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux

 

Tried to install a while back.......wasn't successful, was just easier to setup dual boot with Win10......Then realised I much prefer Librecad and CamBam......tho I really should get into FreeCAD other than for 3D printed models.

Update:

Seems to install just maybe a little too heavy for the T530......should give it a go on the Big Computer.

I am using FreeCAD lately designing some parts for the plasma machines i am building, once you get past "it does nothing" trauma, it is very, very nice and usable and full of features.
On youtube "Joko Enginiering" and "the hardware guy" have some very nice tutorials.
