@schestowitz Honestly, for a company like Microsoft it would take decades to embrace or simple like free software. They did too much damage. I don't think we will see a free software friendly Microsoft in our lifetime (if ever).
My favourite #opensource creative tools are probably:
#FocusWriter - Qt based stylable creative writing app.
#Krita - best illustration app ever made.
#Kdenlive - awesome videoeditor and getting better by the day.
#Audacity - easy to use sound editing. (Kwave come back though!)
#Blender - best 3D tool out there that I still try to learn.

Many graphic designers work with expensive #proprietary software because they believe they have to, and it has to be #Adobe. But this is not so: There are many fine professional-quality open source #graphics applications out there.
The apps may take a bit of time to learn how to use them really effectively but today we do have YouTube tutorials and many blogs that explain how to do this.
