  1. Music and images softwares are now on par with Windows or Mac, even on the open-source software side. For the music you have Jack, Ardour, Audacity and many other things very powerful that don't have to shy in front of Protools. For the image you have Krita, The Gimp (now even allowing things Photoshop didn't implemented at all), MyPaint, Darktable, Rawtherapy, Inkscape (or even Scribus, in a certain extend). I agree that in the video editing part, it's a bit sparse for professionals (there are still KDenlive and other simple editors) but Blender has a very good video editing tool and in closed-source there is Lightwork and Da Vinci Resolve which are lightweight comparing to Premiere+AE. So I don't know what you find less efficient to be forced to use Windows, maybe it's because the ergonomic and the toolchain is too different than what you learned on ?

  2. Well, it's not "things" but AMD who improved its Linux support to be now a bit better than Nvidia's proprietary driver. That was the main issue of Louis. And even better : nowadays Da Vinci Resolve is ported on Linux for users who need professional video editing software. It's not FLOSS but there is a gratuitous version available and that suite is more optimized than Adobe's one.

  3.  @Papergami45  I'm not a rolling release guy, I'm a Debian stable and Centos user for my creative and electronic workshop stations :-) But yeah for an hobbyist it makes sense to closely follow such early developments. That's why I like Linux and FLOSS in general : the variety allows to fit a large spectrum of users.

  4. I'm necroposting but just in case : Those blue and yellow devices that looks like toys are the design of Hakko products.

  5. That's bullshit. AMD improved a lot, their Linux drivers are now very reliable. OpenCL and OpenGL rendering is identical than on Windows.

  6.  @Papergami45  Way too early, it's still an alpha. I can't recommend that software for production. Moreover it's too empty to be compared to the professional suites.

  7.  @Papergami45  Personnaly, I'm more conservative about the tools I use and I'd rather wait a 1.0 announcement before another look. Resolve fills a niche that Adobe always despised so to me there is no desperate needs for Olive nowadays.
