Coronavirus lockdown is a good time to learn a new skill. Whether it be programming or 3D modelling, Linux has many programs available to fulfil any need for content creation. Blender is a very capable 3D modelling application for creating detailed 3D models. Davinci Resolve is the best video editor out there and is available on Linux. It has very steep system requirements, but it does work very well. You do need 8GB of VRAM to run this program and be careful with the size of assets in your project to avoid running out of GPU memory. But it does have many professional features. Especially very precise video cutting and editing. Kdenlive is another video editor for Linux, but it is very simplistic and best only for small projects. Blender is a professional-level 3D modelling application. This is an example of the work it can create: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neEaV64gR_U. A very beautiful movie. And very high-resolution 3D artwork. This would be very effective coupled with pro-level video editing software to create a nice film. The only other thing required is good image editing applications. The Gimp is pretty good, but Photoshop is much better, but there is also Inkscape for making lovely Scalable Vector Graphics to put on the web.
Gimp only supports RGB by default, but it can be extended by the use of plugins, so this is alright. The same with RAW import. There is support for DDS files too. So it has its strengths and weaknesses. But it is still a very capable application for manipulating images. Kdevelop is a very good IDE for programming in C. It even has code suggestions when coding, this can really help. It suggests the proper syntax when using a function. Hovering over an include entry will show all functions available in that include file. That is very useful indeed. The user can click a function and it will show you where the function is defined in the /usr/include file. Then it may even be opened and the editor will move to the location of the function to allow examining it. That is great. So it is very well set up for creating a Linux project. I do not think it supports Github at all, it might be able to use a plugin to access that, but I am not sure. A good alternative to Visual Studio on Windows though. I hate that it has the Visual Studio dependency for a minimal console app when programming on Windows. That is retarded.
