> What's Actually Happening: Students learn Figma, not Illustrator.

Figma is currently an excellent competitor for approximately 1/3 or so of Illustrator's capabilities. In some industries, knowing Figma is like saying you know Microsoft Publisher.

> What's Actually Happening: Indie developers run Omarchy on Framework laptops.

Omarchy was released by 1 divisive individual extremely recently. Framework is more expensive than most alternatives available and sadly have not taken over the market unless you mean the very niche and fractured high-end linux-laptop market, which is still debatable given the existence of system76, dell w/ linux, lenovo w/linux, tuxedo out of Germany, Star Labs in the UK...

Surpised there’s no mention of the Affinity suite. It’s inexpensive, not a yearly purchase (so far), and while the workflow and features differ from the Adobe suite, it may get the job done for those who need something less frequently.

There’s no Lightroom equivalent, unfortunately.
