Without the title of this post, it’s probably easy for any non tech person to misunderstand this image as being a list of Adobe programs that spy on you, at least on first glance.
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
Krita os not just good, I think the meta points it as the best drawing software in the market*
It’s unreal how good Krita is. The small team behind it has accomplished something amazing.
This graphic is missing Bitwig in AU section. Definitely worth mentioning since it runs on Linux/OS X/Win.
I’ve never used Photoshop but I have used Photopea and people tell me it’s exactly the same: www.photopea.com
I like it too, but it’s like comparing a convenience store around the corner with the big box supermarket across town. Many similarities but it’s much more limited. Do think it deserves more attention though, it works really well if you ask me.
Sorry, there just are no alternatives to Photoshop, with Affinity Photo being the closest replacement nowadays, to the classical PS functions. Affinity Designer feels the same for Illustrator.
What about Krita? Not sure exactly what Adobe product it would be an alternative for though. I know a lot of what people use it for used to be done with Photoshop, but I think Photoshops core demographic is a slightly different use case. Also Inkscape as an Illustrator alternative?
For drawing/painting yeah, krita is comparable, especially if you set the presets to be similar to ps. I haven’t tried krita with photo editing much though
The wave of GenP refugees today appreciate this post.
I have no clue what most of these abbreviations refer to 😅
What happened to Audacity?
See other comments: Got bought up by some company and then enshittified.
I hate that there is not a good alternative to InDesign that works on linux.
If only the Affinity suit were to work on linux, even just with wine, I would be alright with the fact that it still is proprietary software. It was somehow able to replace my whole Ph/Ai/Id workflow but it is till keeping me from trying to switch to the penguin.
Penpot?
Maybe it’s to only spy on Sony. They love pirating Adobe products; and hate when others pirate their stuff.
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
lol. coreldraw is fucking terrible
Affinity Designer 2 might be the only one close to what Adobr Illustrator can handle.

So happy to see my beloved Paint Tool Sai on here! 😃
Are there any good alternatives as far as PDF creation goes? Creating fillable forms, not just editing? I have some users I can’t shake from Acrobat Pro.
Why isn’t Okular on the list? Way better PDF reader than Acrobat.
Acrobat is Adobe’s pdf editor and the listed alternatives are pdf editor, which isn’t the same as a pdf reader.
Sorry, I didn’t know Acrobat is a PDF editor. I don’t think I’ve ever had to edit a PDF in my life.

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