You can bring in data for OSM and other sources, create maps, and analyze data all with QGIS. I use https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dani/qgis/ repository which has the latest version. you will need python3 and GDAL. There is a bit of a learning curve with any geospatial system, but QGIS has responsive mailing list and there are user groups around the world.
