Both CadQuery and Build123d install just fine from pip without needing conda. This enables the use of FreeCAD's bundled interpreter directly, simplifying installation greatly.

Saving here for later:

~/Downloads/freecad/squashfs-root/usr/bin/python -m venv --system-site-packages fcvenv
source fcenv/bin/activate
pip install cadquery build123d ocp-freecad-cam 
echo "/home/voneiden/Downloads/freecad/squashfs-root/usr/lib" > fcvenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/freecad.pth
