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.

This is how to trim a curve on a point in FreeCAD. Honestly hilarious. Tried using it recently, and I couldn't follow a basic tutorial without it breaking. This is a recent fair review of FreeCAD, and it still needs a lot of work even after its 1.0 release before it is worth using. I'm considering going back to OpenSCAD for a simple project, and then I will try using build123d in python (CadQuery is a more user-friendly alternative, at least as far as I am told).

I'm curious how well these CAD kernel projects written in Rust will turn out: Fornjot / Truck
