    If literally any Adobe competitor released a product for Linux they'd dominate that niche.

    It really depends, but some tools would really do that. DaVinci Resolve, for example, has a pretty bad Linux distribution support and format, all things considered, and it's still the go-to video editor for Linux users, despite all of the issues.

    They really are, but still leagues behind the features (and online learning material) compared to Resolve. I love both of them, but still, when I need to get to work with video, I still prefer to deal with Resolve's limitations than to deal with Kdenlive or Shotcut.

    I say this as a foss proponent... gimp sucks ass.

    Now, Inkscape is Goat, but Gimp is nigh unusable.

    When was the last time you used it? The newer versions are better and with Gimp 3 there will be many improvements.

    I appreciate GIMP but nah, it's objectively inferior to Photoshop by a long shot and development is really slow. I mean they've only just got to GTK 3.

    It's comparatively difficult to use.

    Plus they insist on sticking to that infantile name. I don't know how they're expecting to get industry support with a name like that.

    Don't get me wrong I use it every once in a while but damn they're so far behind it's a joke. And the worst part is they seemingly don't want the project to advance.

    FOSS or paid

    I hope you know the difference between Free(Libre) and Free(gratis)

    I guess you don't know its difference.

    Free software means freedom and not the price. There are paid free software.

    By defenition, free software is software that satisfy 4 essential freedoms

    Freedom 0: Freedom to run the program any way you want on any of your devices

    Freedom 1: To see and study how the program works and change it according to your needs. Source code of the entire program should be visible for this freedom

    Freedom 2: Freedom to share copies of the original program(sharing is caring)

    Freedom 3: Freedom to share copies of the modified version which you adapted to your needs such that whole community can benefit from your modifications

    So yeah this is Free software, and when you say FOSS, its not about the price, but the freedom and control you get with the software. Why is this important? Because theese non-free softwares are taking away our freedom by even limiting "us" from using our "own" devices(DRM, locked bootloader, etc.), and it will be too late to realise how most proprietary softwares we use, and ones we are forced to use, captures our freedom.
