Another popular free/open source program is KiCad, which is available
for Window and Linux.  So nice not to have to worry about board and
size restrictions like with Eagle!

KiCad has a few warts, but I find using it a lot more enjoyable than Eagle.

There's also live help:

KiCad is perfectly good enough for home or small business use, and
I've happily used it for several years.
