I never had these kind of performance issues at all. I use it on three different ThinkPads, all not too bad but also no crazy hardware. The cheapest should be an E14 with a AMD 5500U and 16 GB of RAM that was around 500€ 4 years ago.
Isn’t Fusion360 cloud-based? If so, it doesn’t make too much sense to compare the performance on a certain hardware.
I currently switch a lot between FreeCAD and Sims. When I brainstorm with my girlfriend we either use a simple drawing programm or Sims. Then, once we aligned on an idea, I use FreeCAD to bring in accuracy. Quite often then the original ideas don’t work out because of wall thickness, window placement etc.
I currently combine Draft, Bim and Sketcher to plan my house. You can also use Tech Draw and Part Design in some areas. I think FreeCAD has a steep learning curve with all the features it has, but it’s also incredibly powerful.
If you want to do accurate calculations, wall thickness, exact angles, window sizes etc., I would recommend FreeCAD, especially the draft workbench and possibly the BIM workbench if you want to go 3D afterwards.

If you are more looking for a rough planning where you can test furniture placements, floor designs and see fast results, I recommend The Sims 4 (no joke!). The base game is free (also available on Steam) and it’s quite easy and intuitive to move stuff around, change a wall, place decorations etc.
The draft workbench and sketcher workbench in FreeCAD are both only for 2D projects.
They go back to Skype for Business.
Trump does not require any justification for his behavior.
Trump needs a certain level of support from the general public. If he sends the army in face of peaceful protestors, he sets that support at risk. But if the news show videos of protestors looting and setting random stuff on fire, the audience is much more likely to believe his narrative and support his actions.
A riot is the language of the unheard.
When it comes to violence, I always try to take the perspective of my political opponents. I see myself as pretty left leaning but in a democracy I have to accept that there are also different opinions on how a society should work.
That does not mean that I see all right wing concepts and ideas as acceptable and if a conservative person wants to be respected by me, I expect them to also draw a line and distance themselves from the radical, far-right extremists. If a conservative person supports right wing violence, that’s an absolute no go for me.
But likewise, if I want my opinion to be respected by moderate conservatives, I have to distance myself from protest forms I don’t support. And if people randomly destroy foreign property that is not at all related to the protest, I just can’t get behind that. If I then keep protesting along such people, but condemn others when they just look away or go away from far-right extremists, as recommended here for a left-leaning protest, that’s double standards for me.
I don’t know how to feel about that.
I think there definitely are forms of protest that objectively just hurt any movement. A few people looting stores, setting random stuff on fire and most forms of violence will make the whole crowd appear violent and scare off the general public. If you protest against Trump and then steal stuff from a local store, the vast majority will neither see that as related to Trump nor as an acceptable form of protest. Less people will protest and, more importantly, Trump can use the videos etc. to justify his behavior.
This is meant for simple replacement algorithms like ROT1, ROT13 etc. right?
Okay, that’s strange. When you say workstations, I assume that you had pretty decent hardware and probably more powerful than my consumer notebook. I usually don’t notice lags or load times > 1 second. If I do a complex operation like mass-cloning an object via a polar pattern, I have to wait for 2 or 3 seconds but really nothing that bothered me in the workflow. Definitely never anything close to a minute as you described.
If you want to give FreeCAD another chance one day and still experience the same issues, maybe bring it up in the official forums. The experts there might have an idea what could be wrong.
