After months of price hikes and AI implementation, the straw that finally broke the camel's back was their latest TOS change that allowed them to spy on other people's projects and use them for AI training without the consumer's consent.
Adobe burned the bridges with it's primary userbase and everyone is switching to cheaper competitors like Krita, Inkscape, Scribus, and Affinity
Note all these except Affinity are Linux compatible
