Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I've really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

I thought Inkscape was FOSS Illustrator

Probably should add darktable in here as FOSS Photoshop Lightroom Classic.

edit: and Scribus as FOSS Adobe InDesign

I’m sitting here asking myself how I have not tried darktable before. Definitely checking it out, and already verified the support for my camera.

Darktable is definitely my favorite RAW photo editor. There are a lot of great tutorials online including YouTube

Yeah doesn't Krita do raster art and Inkscape does vector art?

Yes. Illustrator is vector graphics so Inkscape is a more direct replacement, and Krita is raster so it’s closer to Gimp and Photoshop. One or both of those probably also have some vector, but not as much as with Inkscape/Illustrator. I think.
