So tired of Adobe. They're part of the problem.

I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.
I switched completely to Affinity Serif design suite and never looked back. One time purchase with free updates, much better.
You could switch to GIMP + InkScape, but I tried it as well and wasn't enough for my usage. Huge learning curve and a lot of missing features.
I tried Gimp for a longer time, too, but I could not get used to the complicated layer management, missing layer effects & layer adjustment features. I will try out Affinity.
Have you tried https://www.photopea.com/ ? It completely replaced my use of Photoshop and it felt very familiar where Gimp did not. Worth a look but ymmv
