The number of times I have read people say the "need" Photoshop and the works is crazy high. I am really curious what important work all of you are doing with all that proprietary software you list as necessary.
Also that is why you should only learn open source software from the start. I'm learning Blender atm and I absolutely refuse to touch anything like Maya. I don't want to be locked into an operating system by some software.
Photoshop I can mostly replace with Photopea and Penpot, but Lightroom alternatives are not easy to use (or are RAW editors only and don't do photo management) and I haven't figure out what to do there yet.
Fusion 360 is the real sticking point, there's no replacement for that or anything that even comes close.
