Addon manager missing
I'm running FreeCAD on Ubuntu. Was on 1.1 then I guess it updated itself to the latest 1.1.1 and I also updated all the updates for Ubuntu that I've been ignoring for a while.
So FreeCAD won't launch. Try a bunch of stuff, nothing works. Uninstall and reinstall and uninstall, try 26.3 still doesn't work. Try going back to 1.1 still doesn't work. Download the AppImage for 1.1.1 and that does work.
I would rather be using the snap version so I try again. Somehow got 26.3.0dev working. But Im starting from scratch. So all my UI preferences are gone and my addons are gone. Annoying, but ok whatever, I'll just start fresh. There is no Addon manager. I look everywhere and think Im going blind or crazy that I can't find it.
Open the AppImage version and there's the Addon manager right where I expected it.
So the question is: how do I get the Addon manager back?
If I can't, is there a way to download addons in the AppImage version and move them over to the snap version?
Anyone else have issues like this?
BTW I avoid updates on everything because it seems like they always break something. Why do updated suck so much? Ubuntu is extremely bad for this. I could never go back to Windows. I hate Apple more than I can describe. Linux kind of sucks but it's the best I can get. To be fair, I suck at Linux. Can barely use the terminal at a kindergarten level. But with enough error and trial I can eventually figure it out. I had Mint on a laptop a few years ago and it seemed ok. Been using Ubuntu for the last 4 or so years but it continually frustrates me. What's a good version of Linux that just works? Or is that asking too much?
