Does Ubuntu have software like Windows has Photoshop and In-design (Qwark and page maker) that one can efficiently use to lay newspaper and magazine pages in a quick and easy to learn manner?

With the right configuration Gimp can replace Photoshop while Scribus could replace In-design. You probably have to train a bit, but after that you should be able to use them.

You can both install through apt-get packet manager:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp scribus

You can run both Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Page Maker in Ubuntu using Wine(A tool used to run windows apps under Linux),

sudo apt-get install wine

you can find how to install Photoshop using Wine here. To install Page Maker in Wine just run your .exe file.

Photoshop is working relatively well under wine. Don't expect perfection, though https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=25607 – storm Apr 06 '16 at 16:21
