You should look into Krita. Not a replacement for Photoshop but I find it more intuitive than GIMP, at least.

But this will definitely ban all VPNs

The main reason people make these memes about her is that she uses her private a lot. Apparently she used it for a 13-minute flight that would have been 30 minutes by car.

The issue is that programs can't directly use your gpu when using a virtual machine

Every software has security vulnerabilities. The important thing is just that they get fixed quickly when they're found and it seems like that was the case here.

You don't even know how much I've been wanting this, especially since this already existed for Plex

Btw you can also download the wireguard config for your vpn and import in the system settings. Then you won't have to open the mullvad app and can just toggle it on or off from the control center.

What about that could possibly be illegal?

I like the way GTK is doing it. You have a thin scrollbar that is overlayed over the content and has no background (so just the knob) but when you get near it with the mouse, the background appears and it becomes double as thick. That way you're not wasting any space but you don't have this issue of it being hard to use either.

It contains mostly open source code. The proprietary binary MS distributes adds very little proprietary stuff to it. You can use the open source version Code - OSS just fine or use VSCodium which is based on that

I use Kvæsitso. I like that it's more search focused and has a clean homescreen with just the clock and a search bar. You can scroll up to see widgets arranged vertically or scroll up to show the app drawer. It also looks nice because it supports the new Android design (Material v3) and dynamic colors. It also supports dynamically colored app icons like lawnicons and has an option to color all other icons as well.

You can get intro skipping for Jellyfin too with a plugin. It even works with Findroid, which is a native Android app for Jellyfin. I've been using it for a while now (maybe a month or so) and it's always worked perfectly.
