Adobe... Fucks people hard.

Thank you very much for this, I already use four programs out of those, time look into more 😉

Affinity + BMD’s Davinci Resolve FTW. Best combo IMOO. I did the switch back in 2017 and never looked back. Worth the single low price and long term free upgrades. For acrobat replacement (basics only) Apple’s preview is flawless and Ubuntu 25.10 Pages looks promising. Looking for recommendations for Lightroom replacement. Apple’s pixelmator purchase looks promising but I don’t want subscription.

Wish there was a good FOSS Acrobat/Blue beam alternative.

I use those tools for the majority of my work as an engineer.

I've never used Photoshop but I have used Photopea and people tell me it's exactly the same: https://www.photopea.com/

I have no idea what any of those things really does and it's way too much to learn given how much GIMP and Krita do

I have no clue what most of these abbreviations refer to 😅

Draw from LO is pretty meh for a lot of things, but I use it a lot to edit pdfs, and it is very consistent
