If you like Python there's: pyCAM http://pycam.sourceforge.net/. Source: over 1 year ago
Which pycam are you talking about? Http://pycam.sourceforge.net/ From what I can see is written in python 2 & so not compatible with current versions of python, so unless you want a project to get an old version of python running on your machine and not breaking anything else, is a no go.

LibreCAD, OpenSCAD (more script based and more for solids), FreeCAD. Source: 10 months ago
CAD options on Linux are more limited than windows or mac but they do exist. The industry standard for 2d CAD files is the .dxf file format. I use LibreCAD. https://librecad.org/ The UI is a little clunky and eccentric in places but it is feature complete for 2d CAD drawings. Source: about 1 year ago
You could also try out free AutoCAD alternatives like libreCAD (2D), or brlCAD (2D&3D, I believe). Source: about 1 year ago
It seems like a low risk purchase for $1, however, there are free options available too such as https://librecad.org/ . Or see https://www.reddit.com/r/humblebundles/comments/117ki1c/comment/j9v0v37/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 for an older Autocad clone. Beckercad 2D seems like a niche product so I would probably invest my time learning something that is more mainstream. Source: about 1 year ago
For 2d stuff I tend to use Libra cad Https://librecad.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
