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.

Tell HN: FOSS and FLOSS software illegally on sale in Microsoft Store
Yesterday LibreCAD user found that there is un-official 'publishers' which sells "LibreCad 2" and other free & open-source software via Microsoft Store.[0,1]
Yorik van Havre first reaction:
> History repeats... Fortunately the community can be quite powerful in those cases[2]
> At least here they didn't rebrand the app and clearly state that it is open-source. Looks like a lawyer's work...[3]
After few minutes of search we discovered[4,5] there are much more similar cases:
- "FreeCad" by 'appsmedia1'
- "BRL-CAD" by 'Alef_Soft'
... and much worse there are half-rebranded FOSS/FLOSS too:
- LibreCAD as "LibreCad 2" by 'Alef_Soft'
- FreeCAD as "FreeCAD for Windows" by 'appsmedia1'
- Scribus as "Scribus Indesign" by 'Alef_Soft'
- Darktable as "DarkTable LightRoom" by 'Alef_Soft'
- Lightscreen as "ScreenShot Lightscreen" by 'Alef_Soft'
So, if you know other FOSS & FLOSS software which is on sell in Microsoft Store — let us know & ”Lets report them!”[6]

Free alternatives to AutoCAD?
Also LibreCad.

Is there a software to draw geometry where one can decide its angles?
That looks more like cad software to me. Maybe LibreCAD?
-
Employer told me that I don't require CAD to make drawings.
Would it be worth getting something like FreeCad or LibreCad and just start using that?

LeoCAD 21.03
> Except for the stuff with the rotation, that was a little hiccup for me
Please, report any issues to issues tracker.[0]
The issue already seems to be there[0], but honestly I immediately resorted to using the arrows to move the pieces around and from there on out it didn't disturb me anymore.
I'm really glad you're putting such an emphasis on beginner friendliness though, that's really cool!
