Adobe needs to be abandoned as well. Clip Studio, Krita, Gimp, Affinity are either free OSS or one-time-payment great alternatives without the AI and privacy BS.

Affinity

Unfortunately, I seem to recall that Affinity doesn't run well under wine. If only they would officially port it to Linux, that would be a major move for them and for Linux. Follow DaVinci Resolve's and BitWig's examples.

what about virtual machines?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Sure, that's definitely an option, I suppose with GPU passthrough (I'm not sure how well this works). My idea when I switch to Linux is to have Windows 11 and macOS VMs.

I will never stop laughing at the absolute fucking joke of a suggestion that Gimp is a suitable replacement for Photoshop. It's like saying MS Paint is a good enough replacement for Photoshop. No. Not even REMOTELY. I want alternatives, but Gimp is absolutely not it.

Cooooooope.

Are any of these a smooth transition coming from Adobe programs? I really don't want to re-learn my entire workflow in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.

I've heard that Clip Studio is pretty close but I have not tried it yet. My experience with Gimp and Krita is that they are fairly close to Photoshop. That is to say that it would be easy for a Photoshop user to jump into those and start working. I have searched for the occasional "how to do XYZ in Gimp or Krita."

Thanks! I'll eventually give them a try...
