I have to admit that I only found that one myself because I was curious what “premium apps” were included in Zorin OS Pro, and eventually found this list they provide of alternatives:
Yes. Illustrator is vector graphics so Inkscape is a more direct replacement, and Krita is raster so it’s closer to Gimp and Photoshop. One or both of those probably also have some vector, but not as much as with Inkscape/Illustrator. I think.
Krita 🎨🖌️
It’s literally FOSS Adobe Illustrator, why do people don’t use it??
I thought Inkscape was FOSS Illustrator
Probably should add darktable in here as FOSS Photoshop Lightroom Classic.
edit: and Scribus as FOSS Adobe InDesign
I’m sitting here asking myself how I have not tried darktable before. Definitely checking it out, and already verified the support for my camera.
Darktable is definitely my favorite RAW photo editor. There are a lot of great tutorials online including YouTube

Thankfully almost everything on that list is cross-platform. RawTherapee is another on the list you may want to check out.
Yeah doesn’t Krita do raster art and Inkscape does vector art?

I remember the first time I tried Krita and clearly thinking “Wait, is this a community project?!?”
And also FOSS Photoshop. Without the annoying subscription model and AI scraping. And way more comfortable to use than GIMP.
I would say GIMP (+ extensions) is still the FOSS version of Photoshop.
Of course, i would love to have a fully fledged program without such a steep learning curve.
But i think Krita is fine as it is.
So i wished there was another just as good program that filled that void.
Any extensions you would suggest for GIMP?

exactly the layout package I needed, thank you for suggesting that
I’m sorry, but Krita does not even come close to the functionality of Photoshop.
