So here's something I learned about two years ago. GIMP sucks.
Hate on me all you like, but paint.net is the superior program.
Open office is fine. I got it to write up resumes and the few odd things. It did it's job fine.
Spreadsheets is a different thing because I only use Excel at work and haven't looked into it past that.
GIMP sucks so much that I prefer installing a virtual Windows machine running Photoshop to using GIMP.
Have you tried newer versions of Gimp? It's taken major strides forward.
As it may have, there‘s still no equivalent to PS’ smart objects, unfortunately. That’s by far the biggest deal breaker to me.
