Linux has made significant strides, and in 2023, it’s better than ever.

If you are professional you use what your colleagues are using. You can’t have 8 people in photoshop and 1 person in Gimp. You are not going to get a studio to flip over to gimp if they are a Photoshop house because it will cost a lot of time and money. Especially not larger operations.
Individual freelancers? Sure. Industry capture? Way more difficult.
