Any Software that I previously used that switched to a subscription model has been replaced by FOSS on my end, even if it’s not fully up to par yet I am usually much happier with the alternatives.

Plex > Jellyfin

Office > Libreoffice / Collabra

Photoshop > Gimp

Gimp and inkscape for vector work, both nice. There is also PhotoGimp, kind of an overlay that changes the interface of Gimp to resemble Photoshop, nice for those transitioning. There is also Krita which has been getting a lot of development, cross between Photoshop and Illustrator, reminds me of the old Adobe Fireworks program. Who remembers that old line of software?

It's weird to me how GIMP and Krita clearly share a large amount of code under the hood, and even some UI design, but at the same time it feels so much less painful to draw illustrations in Krita than in GIMP. I'm glad I gave it a try.
