But then you still have Adobe your PC which does nasty things to your PC, high seas or not.
Find FOSS alternatives like Gimp + Photoshop plugin (PhotoGimp), Krita, Inkscape.
Therr is no reason to be using Adobe in the 0-20 years, and definitely not in 2026.
This is how we do it: https://github.com/KenneyNL/Adobe-Alternatives#animate
Let's be realistic. None of the FOSS alternatives come even close to Photoshop. Gimp has never been a good piece of software. Not to mention, if you're doing commercial work, you need the original software to reliably work with clients and others.
I'm curious what features Adobe has that FOSS is missing
One of the biggest feautures missing for professionals is CMYK color space. There are some workarounds found, but it's not at the same level of Adobe and certainly not built for it.
I switched to FOSS everything and I still miss a lot of stuff even if I'll never touch Adobe again. Everything is so much harder to use and that was a sacrifice I chose to make for the sake of software freedom
