Sadly there is no alternative that is even remotely as capable
It depends on what you do
Well the obvious answer would be all the professional Photoshop capable things man, we can love Linux and still admit there's areas for growth
True but I think most people don't use every feature
If you want to edit photos then Affinity is passable, and GIMP is a joke.
If all you want to do is draw, then Krita is a very capable alternative to Photoshop, but being good at only a specific subset of Photoshop capabilites doesn't turn it into a replacement for it
I make my memes in gimp and it works for me.
Depends what you want to do to photos. It just adjustments without trickery, darktable is fantastic.
Yeah, it’s kind of true. I’ve tried a bunch of Lightroom and Photoshop alternatives. Pixelmator and Photomator for iOS and macOS are my absolute favorites. I wish I could get around Affinity software better, but I can do 95% of what I need in Pixelmator. And I love some of the select tools. Bonus: Davinci Resolve is a big switch for Premiere users— but worth it, and even CapCut’s free features can help with the basics.
Gimp has been just fine.
