Rather than gimp, use photopea

It’s not free but Clip Studio Paint basically does everything Photoshop does, is a one-time purchase, and is on sale rn for $30(as of 3/11/2022) and is usually only $50. Legit I’ve used so many free Photoshop options(Sai, Fire Alpaca, Medibang Paint Pro, GIMP, ect.) and CSP works great as an alternate option for any of them. Seriously check it out if you have the means it’s well worth the investment.

Also Audacity collects your personal information and sells it to third parties and will give it to law enforcement so I wouldn’t recommend using it. I dunno what a good alt is but for now yeah I’d avoid it.

moving from one crisis to another as elegantly as I can
