Same. I really wanted to like Plasma, it’s really nice looking. But it just never works right for me. Most recently, my PC would crash every time I woke it from sleep. And my cursor wouldn’t stay locked to one screen in-game. No issues at all with Cinnamon. Everything just worked out of the box. And there are plenty of themes and icons to dress it up a bit. I used Gnome 2 back in high school, so if I didn’t use Cinnamon I think I’d probably go with MATE since it’s a familiar feel.
I tried FreeCAD last week, and it was absolute trash. Extruding individual curves from a sketch as surfaces? Nah. Extruding multiple bodies from one sketch? Yes, but you can’t select them individually for subsequent operations. Are there synchronous modeling tools? I couldn’t find any. Rotation is terrible no matter which option I tried. If only I could get my SpacePilot Pro working with it. Can you even do any advanced surfacing? I could go on and on.
I was hoping for something akin to SolidWorks, which is kind of a second-teir modeling software in my eyes, but it was just a little better than AutoCAD. Maybe I’m just spoiled with NX. I just found it completely unusable.
I think I’m hopping to TempleOS. It’s going to take more than Windows to save me from this.
Probably because people above the waterline don’t know Mozilla exists, and people below have seen how things have been going lately.
