Fellow Debianer that visits Windows.

It's fine when I'm derping around in Photoshop or something, but it's infuriating for actual work.

Debian is home.

Are you aware of Photopea? It's FOSS and a very capable alternative to Photoshop. It evens runs smoothly on my old Android 5 tablet.

I've tried a few of the FLOSS photography tools. I'm impressed with them, but I prefer the Adobe suite for how I work.

There's also a few other tools like Fusion 360, games, etc. that I prefer having Windows around for.

I used to keep a Windows installation to hand on a disk, but after I realised that I hadn't booted into it for over two years I started using FLOSS operating systems exclusively.

Re. photography, do any specific features of Photoshop come to mind that you miss in free alternatives?

I am very averse to online only tools. I don't really like using them in the browser at all. I don't get this trend.

If I do graphics I mainly use Gimp or InkScape but I don't do any of that very often. Mostly I just code or game.
