I am running Onshape on my HP Pavilion 15 inch laptop, running Linux Manjaro xfce.
Problem one, Onshape does not show up in the installed programs, and yet it sits under the Graphics group??
Secondly the Onshape tool does not have an uninstall feature. Maybe I can be added to te Edit Launcher window or something like that.
I need to do this because apart from the export function which is still not solved by the way, My drop down to get a section view is missing. 
You said the installation is 'baked' . I have no idea what this means, other than assuming you mean stuffed!
Please help!!!!

    There is no install - that's the point of Onshape and how it can run on Linux - it's a pure SaaS solution that runs in a browser.

    Section views are disabled if your graphics card and/or browser does not support them - you can see where the issues are if you run https://cad.onshape.com/check

    The export is not platform dependent because it's all done remote - try a different browser.

    @brian_marshall139 I pulled a ticket to respond but will here as well.  You are running Onshape in Electron, a Chrome wrapper that allows you to have an "app" placeholder on the operating system.  This is not a recommended way to use Onshape and is not supported.  I would suggest you just go to cad.onshape.com and sign into your account that way.
