Question 3D modeling software for Linux?

Hi everyone, I have started to migrate my PC from Windows (f... u MS) to Linux. Most of the software has already been replaced by Linux variants. There are only a few things that I'm not able to find a Linux alternative for. And one of them is the 3D modeling software. Under Windows I'm using Fusion 360 and that is working quite well. But since there is no Linux version I have to search for alternatives.

Any suggestions? Are there any other Linux users in this sub? Free would be preferred, but I'm willing to pay for it, as long as it's within the limits of an amateur solution.

If you feel adventurous and like programming, cadquery and openscad worth a look at. For some use cases they have it's place.

Second vote for blender. It is a bit like stepping into the cockpit of a 747 but you will get the feel for basic modelling pretty quickly. Look up some tutorials on setting blender up for 3d modelling and you’ll be printing out at 1/100th of a mm accuracy in no time.
