Adobe is the killer on your list. There's no proper alternative. There are alternatives, but they're fiddly and quality varies between different programs greatly.
75% of the issue would be solved if somehow the Linux community could convince the Affinity team that we'd all buy a Linux version of their software. Then you'd actually get the holy trinity of "illustrator, photoshop, indesign" alternative with great integration between the three.
But since Linux community is rabid about open source and nothing else, it's not very likely to be happening. So we'll be living under the rock until Adobe does Linux versions of their software (never). The only reasons why I have windows boot is music production, affinity, and some games.
