       @kde @ardour @mixxx  Glad there is #Digikam and #Showfoto - many years I used #Geosetter for #geotagging (both #manual and #GPX) of my #photos - switched completely to Showfoto in recent years... Glad to have it.

       @kde I hardly ever see it mentioned, but I liked Yoshimi, I wrote a python prog that sent osc messages into it to play random sounds (raspi) - music theory is hard!https://yoshimi.sourceforge.io/

       @kde Not strictly free, but the free version of DaVinci Resolve (video editing) has a ton of utility, they aren't stingy with the features they allow. Linux support as well, for those who partake in such things.

       They also forgot:- @GIMP (Do I need to mention why?)- @libreoffice (An office suite without AI BS.)- @ONLYOFFICE (Another office suite for cloud hosting.)- @zrythm@mastodon.social (Another great up and coming FOSS DAW. Mentioned but this is the account.)- Scribus (https://www.scribus.net) (A desktop publishing app.)An honorable mention to the commerical DAW Bitwig Studio, not FOSS, but has an official Linux native flatpak, which is more than a certain video editor which is supposedly also "Linux native".

       @kdeSome newer creative suites:- Inochi 2D (https://inochi2d.com/) - Live2D alternative, the one often used on vtuber and visual novel animation.- @Pixelorama (https://orama-interactive.itch.io/pixelorama) - pixel art, Aseprite alternative, made with Godot- Goxel (https://goxel.xyz/) - 3D voxel editor- Graphite (https://graphite.art/) - general purpose 2D editor with node-based system, it's still limited, but they want to be 2D Blender with vector, 2D animation, page layouting, photo editing, and general image manipulation.- PixiEditor (https://pixieditor.net/) - they want to be general 2D editor, but currently focused on node-based system, more similar to Pixel Composer.Needs to be revived!- Wick Editor (https://www.wickeditor.com/) - 2D games and interactive media maker, it's one of the easiest 2D game making, but the community development is stalled for years.

       @kde i am currently having a fit with MuseScore, which after all these years has no timeline to edit actual MIDI events. The actual numeric values.Shit, CakeWalk for DOS had that almost 35 years ago!

       @kde @ardour @mixxx Indeed. The VLC 2.9 Foundation uses Audacity for our podcast. Truly one of the best programs for the job.

       @prokoudine @cameron_bosch the thread deals with audio/video rather than writing and zrythm was already mentionedi'd also consider GIMP to be less creative-oriented than krita

       @kde hey, watch out for Zrythm. The maintainer has a history of having and posting their weird takes online. For instance, https://web.archive.org/web/20230925161801/https://mastodon.falktx.com/@falktx/105181066302301507 (scroll at the top to see the post from the Zrythm account; Falktx is completely innocent)A few years back, the maintainer was banned from a couple of rooms on GNOME's Matrix due to transphobia; and they made harsh comments regarding the "woke", on IRC as well.@ardour @mixxx
