Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

Here's some creative software that replace the functionalities of Adobe software & more.

  • photo editing: GIMP
  • vector images: Inkscape
  • drawing/painting: Krita (GIMP also fine for this)
  • video editing: kdenlive
  • 3d modelling, animating, etc.: Blender
  • audio editing: Tenacity (Audacity fork made after the buyout without telemetry)
  • DAW: LMMS
  • media player: VLC or mpv

if there's any other specific software you're looking for a FOSS alternative to, don't hesitate to ask. You always have more options on Linux than you'd think.

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.
