Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

We have Gimp and kdenlive. What else could you possibly need.

Edit: Just to clarify this was only a half serious comment

I know this is probably tongue-in-cheek, but if you wanted the serious answer:

GIMP:

  • Non-destructive Editing (it's coming real soon!)
  • Vector shapes, not bitmap
  • Smart objects
  • Full CMYK support
  • Full PSD support (for collaboration purposes), hahaha
  • KILL ALL FLOATING SELECTIONS

Kdenlive:

Well, I actually do use Kdenlive. I'm fine with Lightworks too, and Resolve on macOS. But it's lacking finer color grading controls, the interface is inefficient (being fixed in a future release), hardware-based decoding/encoding needs to either exist or be improved.

And the other big reason is collaboration with other Adobe users.
