I’ve been using yay and cachy-update, which seem to handle basic package management well for me so far. Do you have a favorite?

That’s excellent - I’ll be using this to help bridge my gap over to FreeCAD

I’ve tried it briefly, I found a lot of friction with trying to adjust to its UI. Maybe it was the order I did things in but when attempting a parametric design - following the same steps as my F360 timeline - FreeCAD just threw errors.

I still need to give it another try and learn the quirks and layout a little better. I haven’t needed to design things lately but when I do I’ll spend some more time with it.

Notepad on windows, I think around the XP and earlier versions, had a similar bug. If you typed this app can break and saved it, the file would be corrupted. Something to do with the number and placement of characters.
