      I use FreeCAD and it's pretty good. But I think it's impossible to learn by trial and error. MangoJelly has done an amazing job in churning out high quality tutorials for FreeCAD: this video (this is just one playlist, there's a lot more on his channel).

      I highly recommend MangoJelly Solutions's tutorials. Here's a playlist for FreeCAD 1.0: this video But he has a bunch of other videos.

      I switched to FreeCAD 2-3 years ago. It suits me just fine and I'm so glad I can store my project in a local folder. I also don't have to worry Fusion360 taking any more features away or locking me out. I also don't have to beg them to renew my licence every year. FreeCAD has improved a lot recently. MangoJelly has also done massive work creating thorough video tutorials: this video
