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 是一个针对 Linux/Unix、 MacOS 及 Windows 平台的多音轨音频编辑器。 它是为方便用户录制、播放和编辑数字音频而设计的。Audacity 带有数码特效和频谱分析 工具。操作便捷并支持无限次撤消和重做。

它支持的文件格式包括 Ogg、Vorbis、MP2、MP3、WAV、AIFF 和 AU 等。

Blender是一款集建模、动画、渲染、后期制作、交互式创作与回放（游戏）于一体的3D套件。Blender拥有其独特的用户界面，该界面完全基于OpenGL实现，并以速度为核心设计理念。Python绑定可用于脚本编程；对于流行的文件格式如3D Studio和Wavefront Obj的导入导出功能，社区已通过脚本实现了这些功能。使用Blender常见的产出包括静态图像、动画、用于游戏或其他第三方引擎的模型，以及以独立二进制形式呈现的交互式内容。

GIMP 是一款先进的图像编辑软件。您可以使用它来编辑、完善、修饰 图像与扫描影像，创建绘图，制作自己的图片。它拥有一个具有专业处 理工具和滤镜的庞大集合，与 Photoshop 中的类似。众多的精细控制 设定和特点，如图层、通道、蒙版、和脚本，可使您完全掌控你的图片。

支持诸多图像文件格式，包括 JPEG，Photoshop (.psd)，与Paint Shop Pro (.psp) 文件。它也可以用于扫描与打印图片。

要远程打开文件(如通过 HTTP)，需安装 gvfs-backends 软件包。

要在 GIMP 中使用 MIDI 设备(如 音乐键盘)作为输入控制器，安装

 libasound2 并阅读 /usr/share/doc/gimp/README.MIDI 中的说明。

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 is a free, open source graphic editing program which uses the GTK+ toolkit. It is geared towards creating indexed palette images and pixel art.

Due to its efficient design it can run on older PC hardware (e.g. a 200MHz CPU and 32MB of RAM). It can edit indexed palette or 24 bit RGB images and offers basic painting and palette manipulation tools.

It is aimed to be simple and easy to use. it also can handle JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, XPM, and XBM files.

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.
