    Welcome to Linux! I’ve been using it since 1996 and doing design using FOSS tools for years. (At first, I needed to a separate computer for Adobe products for years, but switched full time to Linux a long time ago.)

    A couple of quick suggestions of other apps to try:

    • Krita, for image editing & painting https://krita.org/

    • Penpot, for UI layouts (including website design), prototyping, and flow; a great replacement for Figma and Miro. https://penpot.app/

    There’s a big list of FOSS design & photography software @ https://pixls.us/software/

    And a huge list of alternatives @ https://codeberg.org/RayJW/awesome-foss#user-content-creativity (linked to creativity, but there’s tons more on that page)

      +1 for Krita. I’ve been using Linux since 2015, and to this day haven’t completely got my head around GIMP. I know Krita is designed for a different purpose, but it’s a lot easier to use for quick touch-ups, which is all I want.
