Like the title says. My dad was trying to get into designing since hiring people for it was getting expensive. we use linux(debian 12) and he has very basic computer knowledge and can't afford the industry grade software(too expensive in our country)

We tried blender with Jewelcraft but it was getting too complicated for him. If you guys have any suggestions please let me know. It will be of great help!

if 'expensive' is ur problem, why not raise the black flag and check divisionsbyzero: someone could guide u to a useful tracker or something to download a cracked version, if it exists, say for Rhino3D. there are so many alternative when doing a search:. idk maybe also try to settle for a software that can really be easy and accessible to ur father, and then look up the cracked version for it. u can find help here, i guess: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy

I will try it ig. but i don't think every feature would work in pirated software on linux. if it was windows it would be a whole different story lol

yea i agree, but ur need is apparently met only by proprietery software, so those software companies wouldn't be much compelled to create a linux version for ur favourite software; kinda cornered urself by the linux choice; afterall u need to design jewelery for living: learning a bit of windows if u found a cracked version should be kinda worth it, but i dont know better..hope someone offers some useful help
