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.

Learning KiCAD is worthwhile, it's sorta becoming the Blender of PCB design. Fully open source, gaining more and more traction and getting more and more development.
For fabrication check out https://oshpark.com/ who make PCBs at hobbyist volumes. Like 3 per order. Lead free.
PCBWay / JLCPCB also looks like a decent service for fabrication, but last time I looked all their cheapest offers were not lead free. And their lead free option cost around the same as oshpark.
Good luck and Happy soldering :)
