For me its honestly a ton of my work software (digital forensics), shit is too niche to be replaced by good FOSS options. Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, etc. Autopsy is great and free and has a linux version but it simply cannot get the same level of data without a pretty nutty level of custom code.

And the biggest side effect of this is FUCKING WINDOWS. God I would replace this nightmare OS in a heartbeat if the aforementioned work software would make linux compatible versions. We have legitimately wasted 10k hours dealing with windows bullshit that would not be a problem in linux. Though im sure linux would take a different 10k for its own problems.

What about you guys? Doesn’t have to be work related, thats just the thorn in my side right now.

    Normally, for an offset line, I’d use some helper lines and just set an offset along the helper between intersecting points, all straight from the sketch editor. Maybe you mean some other kind of offsetting, but I barely use the draft workbench, I’ve found it only offers a few tools that are hard to come up with inside the sketch editor itself.

        Ironically, an in-Sketcher offset tool has been developed over a year ago, along with like 10 other Sketcher tools… but it’s been blocked from merging because they found there is a mistake in the general UI styling, and they switched to fixing that instead.

        Oh well, guess FreeCAD’s UI is a problem after all. 🤦
