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.

Ondsel is great. It is an engineering focused branch of freecad. They have solved a lot of the issues and have made the UI/UX a lot smoother.
Finally libre cad that actually is usable!
The thing I'm struggling with is finding beginner videos for ondsel. The ui is super different, so freecad videos don't help much. Any suggestions?
I found the skill set pretty transferable from FreeCAD (albeit much more usable). That being said I had used solidworks for long time prior.
Main thing I would say is to make sure you are in the relevant workbench and use the tasks menu (starts on the right of the screen)
You may not realize it but you're kind of making my point. You have prior experience. An Ondsel getting started video is really needed. Especially since they want to charge for it.
