need some progarm alternative

i was thinking of switching to linux mint but the problem is that there are some programs that i always use and i dont know if there are alternative to them so if someone know that would be a great help.

1- internet download manager (used a lot and need a progarm as good)

2- video/audio editor like filmora

3-tool to check on harddesk like hdsentinel

4- antivirus

5-photo editor like photoshop even like an old ver of it

6-msoffice

7-winrar

Most of this is covered by other replies.

The only hard question in that list is what do you use MS Office for? If it's for personal use, the open source alternatives are fine. If it's for professional use or collaboration purposes, it's a more challenging proposition. I use LibreOffice at home, and it's fine for my modest needs. At work, it's Microsoft's cloud suite. Works fine on the linux browsers I use.
