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.

A quick google would have gotten you these answers...
Cura is open source and builds are published for Linux.
Fusion360 is not, and does not. I for one use a combination of FreeCAD and OpenSCAD for 3D printing.
I'm using VSCode+OpenSCAD, FreeCad and OrcaSlicer (or BambuStudio if you just have a Bambulab printer) on my Linux box.
You can use the same tools on Windows and Mac btw, so no change in your work flow if you ever need to switch devices.
Plus you'll never get the rug pulled from under you after investing hundreds of hours into these tools.
People say FreeCAD is clunky and crashy, but you look at feedback from people using enterprise grade software like SolidWorks and CATIA and it's essentially the same thing. People are just used to the convenience of prosumer software, and are willing to discard freedom for convenience.
Fusion360 can run under Proton with some *'s
