Even if you don't care about open source everyone should support competition. Discord and YouTube can continue to get greedy and stop improving their products because they don't have any real competition.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Any recommendations for Lightroom?
been using Darktable for years now. had the same trouble with it as people going photoshop to gimp have at first, because my brain was all in lightroom. once i sat down and watched some videos of people explaining their own darktable process and experimented new workflows. it became everything lightroom was, but without the constantly scolding me about bumping my subscription adobe did.

Lol Free Software?
I got a 3d printer (bambu p1s per someone's recommendation here) but the bambu software allows very little in the realm of adjusting a print (size for example is mostly what I can do).
I've been heavily overwhelmed looking into a 3d software editing platform to adjust prints. I don't have the capacity to learn multiple softwares, but I heard blender does pretty poorly in creating prints with hard dimensions.
While I do like to explore the realm of figurines and characters to print, I tend to use my printer for more engineered prints, things I measure and need a replacement for, or to fill in the need of something I'm I'm constructing.
This is where Adobe got most of the positive reviews for a 3d software that's best of both worlds. Creative and engineered. While blender is heavily leaning towards creative.

Or just pirate everything lol
InDesign had those text boxes that you could link to the next text box with the little red plus, and the words would flow back and forth. It's the only thing in all of the Adobe Creative Suite that I miss! FUCK ADOBE, GIMP FOR LIFE!

It's always the same. Many people tell you how a software is not a replacement for other software. Of course it isn't, because otherwise it would be exactly the same piece of software.
Tell me a replacement for LaTeX, Postfix, zsh, vim or OpenSSH. There isn't, because these are the best from my point of view.
Instead of recommending one alternative, you sometimes need to combine them. The most powerful tools are btw combinable in a tool chain and the best are controllable from common scripting or programming languages.
Trying to learn how to use Natron felt impossible. It's a very different approach to what it does and I could not even start to figure it out.
