Cloudflare stats also seem to support peaks of 15% usage but around 9-10% on average. In the United States alone, the market share for Linux is nearly 12% now for the whole month and Cloudflare stats suggest peaks of up to 25% (!) Linux desktop usage on certain days and times.

The trendline suggests this is just the start. When will companies realize they cannot ignore Linux anymore?

FreeCAD has become quite usable over the past couple of years, and it keeps getting better with every update. I know you maybe don't get to choose which CAD program you use since you're a student, but thought I'd put it out there. I've been really enjoying it so far.

    I generally use the weekly development releases for fun. So many improvements are coming. They are focusing on speed of redraw right now.

    And if you don't like the UI, check out either Open light/dark or Northern Lights.
