Hobbyist/DIY guy in a garage. I use Linux. I have briefly tested Eagle and a couple circuit design apps but didn't like anything about any of them, did not spend sufficient time with them either, though. Eagle is going away? Any recommended apps for designing pcb and/or services? I am also open to more artisinal methods. What direction should I point my momentum? Not afraid to try things out but also not wanting to waste time. I have been breadboarding for a minute, learned to solder, benn making some pcb gadgets and think I am ready. Thank you.

I would recommend using KiCAD for PCB design. You can either export the gerber files and send them to a PCB fab or you can etch or mill the board at home.
Okay, I am going to spend time with this then, please let me know any advice for beginners. Thank you so much.
I watched the getting to Blinky from Contextual Electronics and it was super helpful. It covered everything from beginning to end, including uploading files to get a PCB manufactured.
