Need Adobe software for work. Want to play online games that have anti-cheat. Also like to run mods in my games.

I have a shitty old laptop for travelling that I'll try to install Linux on this weekend, since I only need Firefox on that.

is the software enforced by your work or is it what you feel the most comfortable using? because honestly i'm not missing photoshop as much as i thought i would, krita has most of my uses covered, and for photography i use darktable

Not enforced by my work, but Photoshop is honestly the least painful to replace. I'm having a lot more trouble finding fully featured alternative to InDesign and Illustrator. Scribus looks pretty rough and Inkscape has an unintuitive UI and no proper CMYK support.

ahhh, vector graphics, i dabble sometimes but not enough to recommend any alternatives. well, i hope you keep an eye out for new software/updates, being free of adobe feels amazing
