Recommendations for graphic free software
Dear Telma Regarding your request for recommendations for free graphic software along with Scribus, I recommend Inkscape, a Free and open source vector graphics editor. The software is cross-platform on macOS, GNU/Linux and Windows operating systems https://inkscape.org/ Figma (and the like ) are substandard for many reasons, they also require an abundance of digital storage and processing power that has caused an explosion in wastefulness, which shows in things like ridiculous hardware requirements for computing even the most trivial tasks.

Hi Telma,
Scribus is the best option to run on a desktop and it's truly open/libre software. It does not have all InDesign features but it works fine.
But.... You can try figma! This one is much better than InDesign!!! It's not libre but you can use it online and it's free if you don't mind having your work to be public.

Dear AoIR members,
I would like to inquire whether some of you know e have tried free graphic design software able to replace -- with similar functions and good results -- Adobe InDesign.
We are in the process of migrating our class labs to only free software at our university and I would appreciate any recommendations you have.

Figma has a free upgrade for educators and students and you can create teams with your students as an educator. Haven't tried it yet, but plan to use it in the Spring for a course.
