From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Like the title says. My dad was trying to get into designing since hiring people for it was getting expensive. we use linux(debian 12) and he has very basic computer knowledge and can't afford the industry grade software(too expensive in our country)

We tried blender with Jewelcraft but it was getting too complicated for him. If you guys have any suggestions please let me know. It will be of great help!

I know zero about jewellery design, but any new software requires always learning and Youtube has zillions of tutorial videos for any application. Your father needs to spend just 2-4 hrs watching those tutorial videos for Blender and he'll master his new tool already.

He can't master basic touchpad on laptop and needs to use a mouse lol. And english is not his first language so he has difficulty understanding them. I can't design it for him but since i am preparing for competitive exams. Most of the stuff seems easy enough to me bcuz i was exposed to tech from the time i was 12 years old. Also the people at youtube explain things a bit fast and use shortcuts which are hard for my father to follow. Do you have any suggestion for learning how to use linux based desktops and how things work around(not command line stuff) maybe that will help him
