Recommendation for a simple vector sketching tool for Ubuntu 20.04 ?

I want to sketch some simple diagrams to accompany the inverse kinematics calculations for a robot dog design. I'll want to draw and colour simple shapes, draw axes, arcs to identify angles etc.
I have spent hours trying to do this in LibreOffice Draw, Google Drawings and Inkscape. I cannot believe how unintuitive these programs are. I cannot get LibreOffice to draw decent arcs for angles, and the tools are atrocious to use. Google Drawings is better, but still pretty awful. I thought Inkscape might be the answer until I needed to draw some lines to denote axis orientations - I can't find out how to draw a simple line !
I could have done this in 30 minutes back in the 80s using MacDraw ! I can't believe how difficult it is in 2021. Can anybody recommend a simple program which allows general purpose diagrams ?
