For me, it’s CAD software. FreeCAD is trash (sorry, lovers). Fusion360 is honestly the best out there for free. The “almost there” app is Shapr3D, but fuck $40/m.

And yes I’ve tried all the others not listed here.

PDF or really just an alternative to Adobe that isn't even PDF but a completely different format that is open source by default so that nobody really needs a specific app to make edits. Maybd that's just ODT?

Also, maybe not an alt per say but just want games to work on Gnu/Linux. Like all the AAA titles should be able to run on, for example, Linux Mint natively without Wine. A pipe dream sadly since capitalism dictates what works where but I digress.

Going back to Adobe though, would love something other than Photoshop that isn't GIMP. Once upon a time, there was an open source project called Glimpse which basically did what Linux Mint does for Gnome and gave GIMP a much better interface. Sadly, they shut down their project. Lame.

    Closest paid version I can think of is Bluebeam Revu.

    It’s not for Linux, but Affinity is pretty good for a photoshop/illustrator alternative

    Also, if vector is your speed and you want something kinda like Adobe XD, Lunacy is free, cross platform and has a web version

    Icons8.com/lunacy-download

    lunacyapp.com

    affinity.studio

    Sure, and at some point they might want to curtail linux usage, but right now is an option, which Adobe is not, so it is worth having it in mind.
