People downvoting you but Linux seriously lacks contenders to those apps (especially if you’re a power user). I’ve used Gimp alongside Photoshop for the past decade and while Gimp excels in a few areas (color to alpha is crazy useful) it’s so poorly designed, it blows my mind. Alpha channel still disabled by default on a layer!?

I use a KVM to switch between Linux, macOS, and Windows every day and it pains me I still can’t switch to Linux full time unless I give up on a tools like Photoshop (Excel however is fast being replaced by Pandas / Polars).

I’m holding out hope that a byproduct of Valve and Codeweaver’s efforts with Proton might mean Photoshop will one day run perfectly on Linux. I hate Adobe but Photoshop doesn’t have a serious contender (and given how asinine the .psd format is, we’ll never see a decent tool support its file format fully either).
