For me, it’s CAD software. FreeCAD is trash (sorry, lovers). Fusion360 is honestly the best out there for free. The “almost there” app is Shapr3D, but fuck $40/m.
And yes I’ve tried all the others not listed here.

Photoshop. GIMP is serviceable, but just give me damn Photoshop circa like, 2015?
photoshop cs6 was indeed great, it does run fairly well on wine tho
I have an issue with it that really makes it unusable: every input renders one frame behind. I make a gesture, I see most of the stroke, but not the last bit until I click again. I select and cut something? Doesn’t disappear until I give one more input. I zoom to a certain level, then click and it zooms the last little bit. It’s bizarre and makes it surprisingly unusable.
i did have some glitches and switched away from it to gimp eventually but your issue kinda seems different from mine. are you on x11 or wayland? if x11 are you running a compositor like picom?
Still on X11, sadly. Budgie. Ubuntu 24.04. I find that Wine almost makes more of a difference. I’m pretty sure it’s how they’re handling inputs in the main thread at Adobe HQ.
I haven’t been able to get it working with winetricks, bottles or lutris. Any tips?
i haven’t ran it for some time, there were minor issues (iirc window autoraising glitches?) with my window manager (fvwm) and i just switched to gimp full time because i don’t use any advanced features.
CS2 is completely free from adobe. It doesn’t understand scaling in windows, and won’t run on the next Mac OS release. But it’s serviceable.
If I can make it run on Linux that may do.
PhotoPea works pretty well for me, though I am not using it for anything other than fun projects.
I have used photopea before and it works shockingly well, but I don’t like having to rely on a web-service.
What about Affinity Photo?
Not familiar with that one, but I’ll give it a look!
