Hey - I wrote this article. Kind of surprised how popular it is; think I've had more hits today than I had all of last year. To me, the 4 GB Raspberry Pi 4 is quite an acceptable desktop. Yes, I could have a Pinebook, but they don't have the support community. I wrote about FreeCAD because the charity I work for — Makers Making Change [1] — makes open source 3d printed assistive tech to empower people with disabilities. We're always looking for free CAD solutions, and to get FreeCAD running well on a Raspberry Pi 4 was too good to miss. I'm trying to get as many of our designs usable in free software as possible. Up to now, I've been a pretty solid OpenSCAD user. It's good, but not perfect: it's possible to generate non-manifold volumes even if you do the right thing all the way through.
