The big difference is that formats used in open source software is open source.
If you are interested in audio engineering I would recommend Ardour.
I’ve also heard good things about bitwig, though it’s not FOSS, annoyingly.
How does this compare to audacity?
It’s a lot more fully featured. It’s allows for a lot more complex mixing and editing. It supports a lot more plugins including virtual instruments. Audacity is good for basic recording and mixing but Ardour takes it to the next level in terms of versatility and control.
Ok thnx will check it out
In addition to Joplin, Logseq is really great too, though with more of a text-first, outline based, zettle approach.

Heard someone mentioned boxy, haven’t tried but looks good.
Gimp is all I know, I can’t compare to Photoshop, and I love it! ❤️

I agree these are alternatives, although for the larger solutions, I would argue that none of them are comparable for professional users, besides maybe Blender. I know many animators that use it, but it’s more like a tool for a specific purpose, while they also simultaneously use many other proprietary programs.
And it’s not just for Windows. That’s pretty much a list of the default choices for my operating system.
