An open source package that would replace adobe would be a game changer.
Which Adobe?
The building style?
Someone’s been living in a cave.
That can replace adobe, well done!
Gimp/inkscape
I wonder how Scribus is doing these days.
Never got into that one
I would sacrifice my first unborn kid for this.
I would also sacrifice your first unborn kid for this.
Truly the spirit of FOSS
People really would rather sacrifice their unborn child than pay $20 a month smh.
Why not? OP probably got a vasectomy, so there's no chance that unborn son is happening anyway...
Unethical LPT: Get a vasectomy then offer your firstborn child for material gain as often as you like knowing they can never collect.

Worth noting: Affinity, while not open-source, can be brought to run under Linux. This may be helpful for people wanting to ditch Windows.
Does it run well? Ps under Wine is a laggy and unstable mess
I can't help with personal experience unfortunately. I think some (a lot?) of people are satisfied, but one does need some tech skills to get it up and running.
Instructions are out there in various github repos, some of them also link to volunteer support channels.
Or instructions in German here: https://linux-content.org/so-installierst-du-affinity-photo-designer-und-publisher-unter-linux/
