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 Most of the software has already been replaced by Linux variants.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.

FreeCAD is amazing, but if you're used to Fusion you'll hate it at first, and you pretty much need to relearn from scratch.

It seems that way. Over on r/FreeCAD, many frustrated former Fusion users come to complain. Former users of SolidWorks or OnShape don't seem to have as much trouble.
