I'll add my voice to this. I stopped using Fusion360 when they adjusted the licensing terms a while back. FreeCAD has a ways to go to being at par with the likes of Fusion, but it is a capable piece of software - and once you get some hours with it you can design really incredible stuff. Anyone who used Blender in the early days knows how far its come. FreeCAD is making that journey too. The 1.0 release is a big step. I use FreeCAD for all of my (admittedly amateur) CAD work. I've designed toys for my kid, props for my Christmas light setup, tool-holders, and any number of things I can't think of at the moment. If anyone is finding FreeCAD hard to pick up, I highly recommend Mango Jelly's Youtube channel, which offers lots of really great tutorials on using it: https://www.youtube.com/@MangoJellySolutions https://www.youtube.com/@MangoJellySolutions
