Ubuntu Studio

If you're into Multimedia and worry about leaving Windows operating systems - even though you'd really like to try out that "Ubuntu" buzz and see if you can manage with it - then you should really give UbuntuStudio a try.

Ubuntu Studio, as they say:

Ubuntu Studio is aimed at the GNU/Linux audio, video and graphic enthusiast as well as professional.

We provide a suite of the best open-source applications available for multimedia creation. Completely free to use, modify and redistribute. Your only limitation is your imagination.

It includes, among others:

Audio

• Ardour 2 - A multitrack recorder/editor

Image

• GIMP
• Inkscape
• Blender
• RAW camera files tools
• Wacom drawing tablets support

Video

• PiTiVi
• Kino
• Cinepaint

Those might be all the multimedia tools you'll ever need.

(or you can give Studio64 a try as well)
