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.

From what I know you'll have to compose with a mix of Krita GIMP and Inkscape because those are the three most reliable and feature rich FOSS image editors at this time. In the current capitalist mode of production, free software will hardly be on the level of paid software, however enshittified, because of how many devs get to work full time on it.
Keep in mind that I say this while operating fully on a FOSS environment, because the relative increase in features and reliability doesn't justify going from free to an absurdly high subscription
