Free operating systems based on the Linux operating system kernel invented and published by Linus Torvalds are now a serious alternative to Windows, not least due to the wide range of open source software on offer.

GIMP is particularly popular on Linux, where it has established itself as the standard for digital image editing, and is also suitable for beginners. Inkscape Another powerful graphics tool is Inkscape. Inkscape is a free, platform-independent software for editing and creating two-dimensional vector graphics.
