Photoshop CC 2018 runs great in Wine, with Wacom tablet support as well.

For Illustrator, use CC 2019 to get hi-def display support in the GUI. I don’t use Illustrator much though, so I can’t vouch for how well it works.

This is good to know. I still need to figure out which distribution of Linux to try out first. Having the ability to use my wacom tablet across a variety of software is a must.

Ubuntu has a native wacom driver that just comes with the operating system. Just plug it in and find the Wacom Tablet panel in settings.

Blackmagic Davinci Resolve is a good Premiere replacement and can replace parts of AE. It runs well on Linux.

Pixelmator on macOS is a good Photoshop replacement.

I got nothing for Lightroom or heavier uses of AE. Or Excel.

Also missing is support for Pro Audio such as Nuendo and Dorico. If these would run on FreeBSD I would've swapped from OSX/Win years ago. At least there's some hope for Proton so gaming could work...

Reaper might run on FreeBSD with Linux binary support. It has a notation editor, so it might work as a Dorico replacement depending on your needs.

If you are on macOS, you can also try Affinity Photo as a Photoshop replacement.

For Lightroom there is Darktable.

Darktable is as much a Lightroom replacement as LibreOffice is an Excel replacement or Gimp is a Photoshop replacement, i.e. it absolutely is not.

Darktable is in the uncanny valley with its similarity to Lightroom. It looks like LR, so your habits kick in, only to get the cold shower that Darktable is not really LR and the thing you wanted to do you must do differently.
