From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I really don't understand why people bother with Adobe products. I've been using Gimp for like 20 years and it's never been lacking. I've never once thought about re-pirating Photoshop.
Garageband on the other hand... I would kill for a linux equivalent.
I agree, but have you tried traction waveform? Closest option I think but not as polished or accessible.
Text on GIMP absolutely blows. I have way less issues working with DDS files on PS compared to GIMP. I also used to have issues with fuzzy select but that may have been a skill issue on my part.
(I haven't gotten a chance to work with 3.0)
Text is better. Not perfect. Better.
Reaper runs on Linux. It doesn’t come with libraries for sound though if that is what you use garage band for.
