This is great. Does anyone have an equivalent list for design and illustration software?

  I don’t have a link to a comprehensive list but my personal suggestions are: * GIMP for photo editing * Krita for freehand drawing and for CMYK support * Inkscape for vector images * Scribus for desktop publishing (booklets, flyers etc) * Blender for 3D graphics (modelling/rigging/animation) [1] * Blender for 2D animation [1] * Blender for video editing [1] * Blender for compositing [1] [1] Basically Blender is expanding in fields that are outside of 3D graphics and I believe that over time it became the best alternative in those fields.

    I did some video editing in Blender a few years ago. I was surprised how solid and featured it was compared to other actual video editing suits on linux at the time.

    I did a zine almost 15 years ago w/ Scribus and even back then it was an excellent piece of software.
