From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I tried it years ago and it felt more like Quark to me (not a compliment) but should give it another chance. For the past several years I've been using Affinity Publisher in a Windows VM.

Edit: just tried it out a bit (ver. 1.5.8 because that's what's in the Arch repo) and it's better than I remembered. Adobe-like shortcuts. I made a new document and created a few text styles.
