Is There a Linux Version of Photoshop?

AI Thread Summary
Linux Red Hat users seeking alternatives to Photoshop can utilize GIMP, a powerful image editing software that supports various file formats, including .psd. GIMP is free and runs natively on Linux, avoiding the complications of using Wine to run Photoshop, which may perform poorly. Additionally, GIMP can be enhanced with plugins for extended functionality. For more options, users can explore resources like linuxartist.org, which lists various graphics software compatible with Linux. New users may also consider switching to Ubuntu for a more user-friendly experience compared to Red Hat.

I just got Linux Red hat, still trying to get use to it...

I am having trouble editing pictures and drawing diagrams using Open Office software. Is there an equivalent "Photoshop" for Linux platforms?

The GIMP can do almost anything photoshop can (including edit .psd format images).
It also has the advantages of

3: It runs natively in Linux, whereas photoshop will run slowly (if at all) in wine.
 
The GIMP's functionality can be extended via plugins: http://registry.gimp.org/

There are lots of other options as well: try http://linuxartist.org/ for more info. A lot of the packages listed there probably have binaries available for RedHat as well.

Well, the date has now passed, and Windows 10 is no longer supported. Hopefully, the readers of this forum have done one of the many ways this issue can be handled. If not, do a YouTube search and a smorgasbord of solutions will be returned. What I want to mention is that I chose to use a debloated Windows from a debloater. There are many available options, e.g., Chris Titus Utilities (I used a product called Velotic, which also features AI to prevent your computer from overheating etc...
I've been having problems for the past few weeks with the display on my Dell computer. I bought the computer new back in 2019 or so, which makes it about 6 years old. My monitor is a 27" HP monitor that I bought for another computer (an HP Pavilion), recently demised, back in about 2012 or 2013. As far as I can tell, the computer, which is running a 10-core Xeon Scalable processor, is functioning as it should. The first symptom was that the screen would go dark, which I would attempt to...
