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 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.

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.😕

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.
