The only reason I still have a windows machine is for the exceedingly rare game that doesn't work on proton/steam, and more importantly, Fusion 360, although browser-based OnShape apparently is pretty good if you have a computer/GPU that can make it run smoothly (they both use the same licensed "kernel" that almost all CAD software uses)
You may want to give Plasticity a try. Depending on your use cases it may not replace Fusion, but it's free to try so checking it out will only cost you some time. Its advantages are that a) it's not subscription software - you pay for a license and keep using the software however long you want, and b) it's available for Linux. If it meets your 3D needs then you can be an owner instead of a renter, and you'll still be able to use it when you ditch Windows and install a real operating system.
I haven't tried Plasticity yet - I'm new to 3D, and am in it primarily to print stuff, so OpenSCAD is easiest for me now. But I downloaded Plasticity and plan to try it out within the next few months.
For obvious reasons I consider Autodesk to be evil. And I don't use cloud-based stuff, so OnShape would be out even if it didn't have IP ownership issues. FreeCAD seems clunky and impenetrable, and Blender is an uncomfortable fit for 3D printing. So I'm hoping Plasticity is good.
