Is there a good alternative for Adobe's InDesign that works on Linux? Since my PC is still broken (and probably won't be fixed, even though the warranty is still going til october), I am thinking about getting rid of Windows.

@t_robinart I'm not familiar with Adobe InDesign, but what about this list?

@t_robinart may be Scribus.
Scribus works.
But interchangeability with Adobe files is not guarateed.But i had the feeling that Linux apps were not made by people doing design and Desktop Publishing.
I like Linux but still have to use Windows.

@wwberrutti
Thank you!
I had been looking for lists, but wanted to know if people can share experiences. I hadn't seen a list with products ranked by users though. -

It certainly feels that way from the outside. I have used G.I.M.P. and inkscape ages ago before I hade the Adobe CS and the differences in available functions are not that huge, if you don't work with them on a pro level. But text formatting seems to be something not many people are into.

["If you don't work on a pro level"]
Yes, that always was my problem.
I had to redo project which was made with Pagemaker or Adobe InDesign.
The workflow in Scribus was not really fast.I had done some business cards and a folder with Scribus for a friend but as i remember that had caused more work and interaction with his Printery.

Geht irgendwie mit dem Separate-Plugin, aber die Mehrarbeit nervt und der Workflow kostet.
Auch bei GIMP ist die Benutzeroberfläche nicht sonderlich geordnet.
Schade, denn wie bei Libreoffice, welches gut Word & Co ersetzen kann, schaffen es manche Projekte einfach nicht, was bedienbares zu programmieren.
Und ich unterstütze OpenSource auch gern durch Spenden.
Leider ist Linux/-Programme auf dem Desktop immer noch eine Nische mit wenig fianziellen Ressourcen für Entwicklung. -

Ich hatte es vor meiner Ausbildung genutzt für so ganz simple Bildbearbeitung. Wie das jetzt nach 10+ Jahren Photoshop funktionieren würde, weiß ich nicht (obwohl ich jetzt auch immer noch nicht wirklich gut in PS bin
).
Adobe hat einfach den Vorteil schon seit Jahrzehnten mit den Bedürfnissen und Möglichkeiten mitgewachsen zu sein und lange (und ja auch immer noch) das Monopol in dem Bereich und somit die Finanzierung zu haben. Da sehen open source Programme dann alt aus. -
