LibreCAD
LibreCAD is a cross-platform 2D CAD program written in C++17. It can read DXF/DWG files and can write DXF/PDF/SVG files. It supports point/line/circle/ellipse/parabola/spline primitives. The user interface is highly customizable, and has dozens of translations. (by LibreCAD)

PCB Milling Woes - looking for PCB CAM software recommendations
What I've tried so far: * pcb2GcodeGUI: most recent Windows version is from 2016 (there is source code from 2021, but I can't get it to compile), and it is very rudimentary in its functionality * FlatCam: most recent Windows version is from 2020, great functionality in theory, miserable UI, crashes if you look at it the wrong way, no "Undo" (ctrl-z). * GERBER_X3/ggeasy: my goto right now. It's basically FlatCam with reduced functionality, but much better UI, and crashes infrequently enough to not bother me, also no "Undo" (ctrl-z)

If I don't use Windows or Mac and only use Linux, will I run into a lot of compatibility issues?
CAD options on Linux are more limited than windows or mac but they do exist. The industry standard for 2d CAD files is the .dxf file format. I use LibreCAD. https://librecad.org/ The UI is a little clunky and eccentric in places but it is feature complete for 2d CAD drawings.

Any drawing app other than autocad na easy to access?

Open source alternative that is most similar to AutoCAD?
LibreCAD similar UI, only for 2D

Windows / MacOS - Home/garden design
You could also try out free AutoCAD alternatives like libreCAD (2D), or brlCAD (2D&3D, I believe)

Everything you need to know about CAD humble bundle
It seems like a low risk purchase for $1, however, there are free options available too such as https://librecad.org/ . Or see https://www.reddit.com/r/humblebundles/comments/117ki1c/comment/j9v0v37/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 for an older Autocad clone. Beckercad 2D seems like a niche product so I would probably invest my time learning something that is more mainstream.
