BONUS: here’s some command-line toys that are not useful or necessary, but are just real fun to take a look at especially if you’re new to linux:

• cmatrix (does the matrix code rain thing)
• cowsay (ascii cow with speech bubble)
• sl (steam locomotive in your terminal)
• cbonsai (generate bonsai tree)
• neofetch (this one is actually very useful and will print system information in an aesthetically pleasing way)

Here’s some creative software that replace the functionalities of Adobe software & more.

• photo editing: GIMP
• vector images: Inkscape
• drawing/painting: Krita (GIMP also fine for this)
• video editing: kdenlive
• 3d modelling, animating, etc.: Blender
• audio editing: Tenacity (Audacity fork made after the buyout without telemetry)
• DAW: LMMS
• media player: VLC or mpv

if there’s any other specific software you’re looking for a FOSS alternative to, don’t hesitate to ask. You always have more options on Linux than you’d think.
