Over the years, I’ve heard both Windows users and Linux enthusiasts make the claim that professional media production on Linux is impossible.

While there may be some workflows so over-engineered that legacy software is a must, I firmly believe that, with effort, using Linux for media production is doable. In this article, I’ll share application titles that can help make media production with Linux possible. The key thing to remember is that in order to be successful you will have to put forth some effort. Because some of the applications are quite complicated and require an education all their own.
