I've been learning GIMP to replace Photoshop in preparation. So far, so good, but there are still things about GIMP I just dont get. Like, it's seems impossible to paint onto a fully transparent layer because the paint tool doesn't modify the mask as it goes. I don't even want that layer to have an alpha channel, but it seems like you have no choice if you want a transparent layer.
If you try to paint on a transparent layer, you just get... nothing. It's so trivial in Photoshop to make a new layer and just paint into it, and I can't figure it out at all in GIMP. (I really should ask in a forum, but I also feel like I shouldn't have to.)
Being able to script in Python to simulate Photoshop actions is both awesome and crappy. It's awesome because of how powerful it is, but crappy that I can't just whip up an action in seconds to make a quick, repeatable edit.
I guess I'll have to use a VM to run Autodesk Fusion. ☹️
After switching about 3 years ago, I tried running photoshop through wine. It was a little glitchy visually (I hear it's ok nowadays though) so I tried gimp and just couldn't get used to it. I tried krita and its perfect for what I use it for, very easy to use coming from photoshop. I'm not sure about actions as I don't think I used them in Photoshop but it has plugins so you might be able to find something to replace what you used before
For home use FreeCAD might be an okey replacement for autodesk. It's not as polished, but working well enough for simple geometrioes
Maybe try https://photopea.com/, an in browser Photoshop recreation.
Not sure what you need from Fusion but have you had a look at OnShape?
I have not. I use Fusion for CAD and CAM for a CNC router.
