Good open source circuit simulation software?

tinkered with LTspice on wine - clunky GUI and issue with saving files - fixed save issue with wine from ppa. looks nice but using it still left me feeling deprived..

tinkered with Qucs 0.0.19 - native Linux compat. and nice GUI but had issues with some models like zeners not working and limited doc's. Is not spice compatible but its qucsator engine is nicely geared for RF and hi freq's.

looked at Qucstudio - uses only the Qucs GUI with its own custom engine, and another win only -- kept looking elsewhere

finally found Qucs-S - looks to be the best of many worlds - is a spin off from Qucs by some of the Qucs dev team - GUI improvement and supports multiple backends making it spice compatible while maintaining back compat with qucsator.

tinkered with Qucs-S-0.0.21 - so far so good .. smooth .. all the models I have tried work. Their website is polished and doc's appear to be robust - looks to be the direction the Qucs project is heading. Will be the simulator I have settled on.

removed statement about 0.0.20 -- it looks to be the first incarnation of Qucs-S

both can be found here - https://ra3xdh.github.io/

online docs - https://qucs-s-help.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Intro.html#

Hope this helps .. Cheers  :)
