Nope. Where I live employees’ salary is included in the food prices.

and/or getting your games from places like gog.com

Freecad is… rough. But, it has python API, and that’s what I ended up using for almost all my stuff (there also was a period of using cadquery, but installing it is a horrible pain, so I gve up).

Also using onshape every now and then, but many things are just too annoying to do with a gui.

For me it’s GOG first. Using lgogdownloader and wine directly (in a custom apparmor profile). No DRM, no forced updates, no annoying client that takes forever to start. Games are also dramatically much easier to isolate and sandbox this way.

If the game is not there, then yes, Steam (as a separate unix user).
