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'd say maybe keep at Blender, the community is huge and the tutorials endless. It's only complicated until you learn how it works!

There's also CAD software, like FreeCAD, LibreCAD, etc, which, unfortunately I have no experience of so I can't tell you if they're easier or harder to learn and use compared to Blender.
