    From the list, openscad requires the least tutorial. Solvespace is really easy also, but you need to watch some exciting modelling videos before you get the idea around it. Blender is hard.

    OpenScad also gives you a different modelling experience that lets you write reusable models, e.g. if you are a carpenter, 90% of your modelling is sizing and positioning fiberboards to shape a box. You can “automate” such tasks, easily. I wrote a script for myself that does that, and I’m now super fast at modelling furnitures. After some modelling you will be also capable of making such lib. (As a developer, I might be biased)

    If you are interested in this library: https://github.com/fxdave/woodworkers-lib

    afaik, fedora is the testing distro for RHEL. I also felt this way, when a new gnome version released much earlier than for Arch and it had an obvious bug that could be catched with little testing.

    And many issues I found in Fedora’s bug tracker was auto closed by the new release. Which is quite frequent. Reviewing the bugs is not that frequent.










  • I think it kills the community. Making a Wayland window manager is so much harder to do than an X one. This monolithic solution solves the problems of Gnome, and KDE developers but less people want to be involved in windowing systems. I’m just being sad for X11, because, although it had nonsense features, it made linux desktop applications compatible with every desktop and we had huge variety of wms, compositors, desktop environments. Personally I’m still on X because of bspwm, but eventually there will be wayland-only features which will slowly kill X.
