Dune 3D stonks 📈

So a somewhat popular YouTube channel (60k subscribers) did a video on Dune 3D that racked up 16k views in the last 2 days since it was published: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1VNpC0nwF4

Didn't watch it so no idea if it's any good.

Has anyone installed the cad software #dune3d on #ubuntu ? I tried following the instructions on their website, but was inundated with errors. Any hints would be appreciated.
Ps I am a HUGE #Linux newbie!

Next day,
OK, I figured it out. Learned I needed to install Flatpak and the all was well!

Chamfers in Dune 3D just got more versatile and now support two Radii for non-45° angles!

But this post isn't really about that, instead, it's about making visually pleasing UIs.
In its first iteration (left), the chamfer group editor looked a bit chaotic with the spinbuttons and Radius texts not lining up horizontally.

Using tabular figures for the text and a size group to indent the spinbutton made it all line up just right 👌
