PDF or really just an alternative to Adobe that isn't even PDF but a completely different format that is open source by default so that nobody really needs a specific app to make edits. Maybd that's just ODT?
Also, maybe not an alt per say but just want games to work on Gnu/Linux. Like all the AAA titles should be able to run on, for example, Linux Mint natively without Wine. A pipe dream sadly since capitalism dictates what works where but I digress.
Going back to Adobe though, would love something other than Photoshop that isn't GIMP. Once upon a time, there was an open source project called Glimpse which basically did what Linux Mint does for Gnome and gave GIMP a much better interface. Sadly, they shut down their project. Lame.
Closest paid version I can think of is Bluebeam Revu.
Revu blows acrobat put of the water .. it is equivalently priced though so not much help for plebs ..
Yeah Revu is great at work, not so friendly for home.
It’s not for Linux, but Affinity is pretty good for a photoshop/illustrator alternative
Also, if vector is your speed and you want something kinda like Adobe XD, Lunacy is free, cross platform and has a web version

affinity.studio
You can run Affinity in linux.
Not native, is what I mean.
Sure, and at some point they might want to curtail linux usage, but right now is an option, which Adobe is not, so it is worth having it in mind.
Affinity Studio has no Linux binary. You would need WINE, etc.
That’s what I’m saying. It’s Mac and Windows only right now.
Is it true that canva may be planning to port affinity to Linux in the future?
Unlikely.
