Would be much easier to switch to Linux if it had viable alternatives to the most commonly used software, I feel.
Unfortunately, Gimp still sucks monkey balls compared to Photoshop, and Libre Office, although close, is not MS Office.
Personally I've ever only used Gimp even when I was on Windows. I wonder what gimp could possibly even do better to compete with photoshop. There's also krita of course which is very popular but I've never tried it, gimp has just been everything I've ever needed from a drawing program.
Non-destructive editing is sorely missing, a.k.a. layer effects. Adding shadows and outlines in Gimp is a chore, and if you dare edit the layer you added a shadow to, you need to repeat the process again.
