    I’m not saying that proprietary software can’t be good, but it is absolutely essential to have real skill with FOSS–Blender, Audacity, Inkscape, Krita, FFMPEG, GIMP, LMMS or Ardour, any number of terminal tools… they update fast, they’re always available, they run on anything, and if you can’t figure something out, you can peek inside.

    You want to use FL Studio or Maya too? Cool. But, you just have to at least know the FOSS/Libre stuff.
