The level of frustration for a newbie installing Fusion 360 is greatly dependent on the software setup relative to his hardware. Before you do anything, you need a tool that will help you check compatibility and configure the software to work with your hardware. In my case, I had a mouse that should have been compatible but wasn't and a graphics configuration that was interfering with selecting planes and objects in Fusion 360. At tool that could help sort that out will make for happier newbies.
The input from jac.brown above about new user hardware compatibility is very like my own experience. While I have years of experience with computing systems and software (but not CAD), when I began using Fusion 360 via its learning tutorials, I was initially stymied because Fusion would not complete any modeling commands including simple things such as pan and draw a rectangle. There was no indication from the software as to why this was the case. Because the installation and activities such as initiating a new project and importing a 3D component per the tutorial worked properly, I felt that the core software was functioning properly (and OK with my hardware) and assumed that I was at fault, perhaps by not performing some set-up action, but unable to determine the cause.
Eventually I discovered Fusion's graphics diagnostics function and selected its suggestion to limit graphic effects (such as shadowing etc.), and this cured my problem.
I now understand that my (embedded) graphics function is too limited and will upgrade. Improved Fusion error indication to the user would be helpful.
