Didin't Linux had FreeCAD?

Yes, and holy shit has it come so far. Unfortunately in the professional world you often just need the native program to open the file. Even just for compatability, but rolling back and/or modifying is only possible within its native software.

Would OnShape be an option for you ? I haven't booted up Windows since I was able to work with OnShape to replace Solidworks. But I just do hobby projects. I didn't have to worry about compatibility for collaboration.

FreeCAD...is getting there. They're actually heading toward a 1.0 release, and bringing usability and convenience features. I'd say by 2025 it'll be a better value proposition than the "Free non-commerical use drawbackware" tier offerings from Onshape or Fusion360.
