So i have a 3D printer, and i have linux on a laptop but im struggling to find good 3D print-related software to use on linux or maybe i havent looked hard enough? Im pretty much a beginner to both linux And 3d printing, also using Ubuntu Mate if that matters on a old thinkpad.

So i need a 3d print slicer/way to print to my printer, i also need a simple 3d modeling software (ive tried blender but found it too hard and heavy for me and my laptop). It would help if all suggested software were open source or something like that.

    +1 to TinkerCAD and PrusaSlicer. I have a (Creality) Ender V3 but switched away from CrealityPrint to Prusa due to Wayland issues and while it’s not as pretty, it’s not just as powerful but more so

    TinkerCAD has also been amazing for nearly everything I need. I only recently hit the limit with it after years of printing and switched to Blender but it’s super solid
