This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Idk about the rest of the software on this list, but presenting gimp as an "alternative" to photoshop seems disingenuous to me.
Gimp is an alternative to photoshop in the same way that a 56K modem is an alternative to a 1 gig fiber line. Yes, they technically do the same job. But to suggest that your experience is going to be comparable to photoshop is a stretch.
Same with Inkscape IMO. Anyone have a different alternative?
Dunno how advanced its vector graphics features are, but krita does support making them at least, you could try that. The overall interface is good at least.
