I know the PBP is not ideal for modeling but I use it to practice while I learn and to tinker with ideas when away from the desktop. Recently an update to Manjaro moved to a new version of python and freecad would no longer work. I solved the problem with this thread: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/rolling-back...sion/52985 and pyenv. I am just kind of wondering if there is a more elegant solution to this. I had thought I could roll back with pacman, but the linked thread says that manjaro considers python to be a system component, and I worried that a rollback may break something else. BTW, the flatpak for freecad could not be installed, and IIRC the snap was also a dud. I think they may not be maintained any longer, so I am glad I found any kind of solution at all.
On another note , freecad has a fork that sounds interesting: https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_a...3/releases. When I have a minute I will try the x86 AppImage, but I do not have confidence that it will work on the PBP. Is it possible to recompile from source for something like this, or will I be throwing away my time? Thanks in advance.
