Ardour is a multichannel hard disk recorder (HDR) and digital audio workstation (DAW). It can be used to control, record, edit and run complex audio setups.

Ardour supports pro-audio interfaces through the ALSA project, which provides high quality, well designed device drivers and API's for audio I/O under Linux. Any interface supported by ALSA can be used with Ardour. This includes the all-digital 26 channel RME Hammerfall, the Midiman Delta 1010 and many others.

Ardour has support for 24 bit samples using floating point internally, non-linear editing with unlimited undo, a user-configurable mixer, MTC master/slave capabilities, MIDI hardware control surface compatibility.

It supports MIDI Machine Control, and so can be controlled from any MMC controller and many modern digital mixers.

Ardour contains a powerful multitrack audio editor/arranger that is completely non-destructive and capable of all standard non-linear editing operations (insert, replace, delete, move, trim, select, cut/copy/paste). The editor has unlimited undo/redo capabilities and can save independent "versions" of a track or an entire piece

Ardour's editor supports the community-developed LADSPA plugin standard. Arbitrary chains of plugins can be attached to any portion of a track. Every mixer strip can have any number of inputs and outputs, not just mono, stereo or 5.1. An N-way panner is included, with support for various panning models. Pre- and post-fader sends exist, each with their own gain and pan controls. Every mixer strip acts as its own bus, and thus the bus count in Ardour is unlimited. You can submix any number of strips into another strip.

Ardour's channel capacity is limited only by the number on your audio interface and the ability of your disk subsystem to stream the data back and forth.

JACK (the JACK Audio Connection Kit) is used for all audio I/O, permitting data to be exchanged in perfect samplesync with other applications and/or hardware audio interfaces.

Ardour is sample rate and size neutral - any hardware formats from 8 to 32 bits, and rates from 8kHz to 192kHz. Internal processing in 32/64 bit IEEE floating point format.

Audacity je vícestopý zvukový editor pro GNU/Linux (a ostatní unixové systémy, včetně MacOS) a Windows. Aplikace je navržena tak, aby umožňovala snadné nahrávání, přehrávání a úpravu digitálního zvuku. Mezi funkce aplikace patří zejména digitální efekty a nástroje pro analýzu zvukového spektra. Provádění úprav je velmi rychlé a provedené operace je možné zrušit (funkce zpět/opakovat), počet kroků zpět není omezen.

Mezi podporované formáty souborů patří (mimo jiné) Ogg Vorbis, MP2, MP3, WAV, AIFF a AU.

Blender je integrovaný balík 3d aplikací pro modelování, animace, rendering, post-produkci, interaktivní tvorbu a playback (hry). Blender má své vlastní zvláštní uživatelské rozhraní, které je implementováno výhradně v OpenGL a navrženo s důrazem na rychlost. K dispozici je provázání s Pythonem pro skriptování; funkce pro import/export populárních formátů souborů, jako je 3D Studio a Wavefront Obj, jsou realizovány pomocí skriptů od komunity. Běžnými výtvory Blenderu jsou záběry, animace, modely pro hry nebo jiné enginy třetích stran a interaktivní obsah ve formě samostatných binárních souborů.

GIMP is an advanced picture editor. You can use it to edit, enhance, and retouch photos and scans, create drawings, and make your own images. It has a large collection of professional-level editing tools and filters, similar to the ones you might find in Photoshop. Numerous fine-control settings and features like layers, paths, masks, and scripting give you total control over your images.

Many image file formats are supported, including JPEG, Photoshop (.psd), and Paint Shop Pro (.psp) files. It can also be used to scan and print photos.

To open files remotely (like over HTTP), install the gvfs-backends package.

To use a MIDI device (like a musical keyboard) as an input controller in GIMP, install libasound2 and read the how-to at /usr/share/doc/gimp/README.MIDI

GOverlay can configure Vulkan / OpenGL overlays with a preview. Currently supported are MangoHud, vkBasalt and ReplaySorcery.

Inkscape is an illustration editor which has everything needed to create professional-quality computer art. You can use it to make diagrams and illustrations, technical drawings, web graphics, clip art, icons and logos. A collection of hands-on tutorials show you how to combine lines, shapes and text of different types and styles to build up a picture.

A selection of powerful vector graphics editing tools comes as standard. There is excellent support for paths, gradients, layers, alpha transparency and text flow control. An extensive library of filters allow you to apply realistic effects and extensions allow you to work with bitmaps, barcodes and printing marks, amongst other things.

Most of the common vector formats are supported, including PDF, Adobe Illustrator and AutoCAD files, and it has unrivalled support for the SVG web graphics standard.

Between the suggested packages:

• dia: to export Dia shapes;
• libsvg-perl: to import .txt files (txt2svg extension);
• python3-packaging: used by the Optimized SVG extension;
• python3-uniconvertor: enables several import/export extensions;
• pstoedit: to work with eps files;
• ruby: there are several extensions written in ruby;

mtPaint je svobodný grafický editor s otevřeným zdrojovým kódem, který používá nástroje GTK+. Je určen pro tvorbu obrázků v indexované paletě a pixelové grafiky.

Díky svému efektivnímu designu, program poběží i na starších strojích (např. 200MHz CPU a 32MB RAM). Program umí upravovat indexovanou paletu i 24 bitové obrázky RGB a nabízí základní nástroje pro kreslení a práci s paletou.

Je zaměřen na snadné používání. Umí pracovat se soubory JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, XPM a XBM.

POV-Ray is a full-featured ray tracer. Ray tracers simulate objects and light sources of the real world to calculate photorealistic, computer generated images. Because of the nature of ray tracing, this process is quite CPU-intensive, at the benefit of more realistic images compared to real time rendering techniques. For example, in POV-Ray, you can model a glass prism, and you will see a spectrum in the resulting image.

POV-Ray by itself is a command-line utility that will take scene descriptions, written in a special easy-to-understand language, to produce ray-traced images (or even a sequence of images, for animations). You can either write those scene-descriptions by hand, or use external tools to generate (parts of) the scene.

povray-includes is highly recommended in addition to this package.

Tiled is a general purpose tile map editor. It's built to be easy to use, yet capable of catering to a host of varying game engines, whether your game is an RPG, platformer or Breakout clone. Tiled supports plugins to read and write map formats, in addition to its map format, to support map formats in use by engines.
