I collaborate with other people who are also on DRS. Before I had teammates on DRS, I tried using Blender, Openshot, Shotcut, KDenLive. Those NLEs are just not there yet.
I actually started my solid modeling/parametric journey on FreeCAD, and I prefer the parametric workflow. I switched to Inventor when FreeCAD kept crashing when the object tree was ~60 primitives even on my monstrous workstation. I would love to go back to FreeCAD, because fuck AutoDesk in its ear, so hopefully they get the stability + complexity under control.
I've been using Resolve on Ubuntu and after a bit of a bumpy start it's working just fine.
FreeCAD got a 1.0 release late last year. I need to try it again. I might try one of the browser based CADs, but the idea grosses me out.
The one substitute I've yet to find is for Photoshop, so I need to run that through a VM. It annoys me that nothing compares. I respect Gimp but the UX is overtly terrible. Krita has similar issues for photo editing but is slightly better. Affinity Photo doesn't run on Linux.
