You can run Sketchup natively on Mac or windows. I don’t have any
experience running it using some emulation on Linux.

You can also run it from in a web browser now. I haven’t actually tried
this, but I’ve heard that it works well.

I've been struggling to learn how to use freecad. It has a very steep
learning curve, and is awkward for me. I feel like it is holding me back
from doing projects I would really like to complete. I see a lot of people
use sketchup. This is a proprietary program (ugh) for windows. After some
checking, I see that some people have successfully loaded and designed with
it under linux using playonlinux and wine.

 Has anyone on this list done this?
If so what are your impressions?
Should I keep struggling with freecad, or bite (byte?) the bullet and load
sketchup?

Thanks for your opinions,
Steve
