I see @GIMP has an official Fediverse presence, too.

@FediFollows for once I've actually heard of everything here, used darktable occasionally for some DNG files, used to use inkscape before switching to Figma, and I use Blender for like images of 3D models

@FediFollows @kdenlive @tenacity @Krita @krita_artists @kritafoundation @darktable @inkscape @blender@video.blender.org @Blender@mastodon.social Might I suggest Faststone Image Viewer for very fast and effective image organising. (Windows only I think). You can add in other editing programmes so it will send them to that application.
I've used it in conjunction with a few editing programmes that don't have a management system. Highly effective.

They don't appear to have any social media presence though.

@FediFollows I am enjoying Scribus for desktop publishing. It does not create accessible PDFs, unfortunately, but it saves me learning bloated Illustrator to do basic document layout and paying for the privilege.

If you're interested I think there's also a blender community art bot.

If you find Inkskape & Gimp to be too UI heavy for your needs & expertise, a nice alternative is getpaint.net/, a free tool that is much more capable than MS Paint, without the steep learning curve of others.

It is Windows only, and is no longer open source, however.

I would recommend you give it a try.
