Do not use Onshape for any purpose whatsoever. Anything you produce with it can be trivially stolen by others. I don't even trust their paid (i.e. extortion) tier to protect your files stored in their cloud from being perused privately by Onshape themselves just in case you may happen to have produced anything commercially viable, and/or shared with the feds.
Just don't.
Not so many viable options on Linux. I don't think many people are unaware their work is public, but it is a very good and reliable platform nonetheless.
OpenCAD as a comparison crashes on my setup if I ad much as load one of the example models included in the program.
I don't love the public saves in Onshape but I would probably not be doing any modeling at all without it.
