3d modelling and slicing software for Linux - eviltoast

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!

    Plus you’ll never get the rug pulled from under you after investing hundreds of hours into these tools.

    People say FreeCAD is clunky and crashy, but you look at feedback from people using enterprise grade software like SolidWorks and CATIA and it’s essentially the same thing. People are just used to the convenience of prosumer software, and are willing to discard freedom for convenience.
