I’m using Fusion360, and I dislike it for a lot of reasons, but it’s easy to use. I tried FreeCAD, but it was very janky in comparison. Shapr3D was surprisingly good, but there’s no way I’m paying monthly for my hobby usage. I need precision prints, so I can’t just use Blender or similar.

Is there some magical unicorn software I’m not finding?

    I use autodesk inventor, which is like the more professional version of fusion360. But there is no free version and it is very expensive, i have a free student licence.

    I like it way more than fusion360, and it is much better at Assembly’s. Still clumsy sometimes.

    It doesn’t run on linux so i just remote into an old windows laptop when i need it.

    I have tried freecad and onshape a lillte but i am just so used to inventor that its harder to use them.
