For development, I prefer RHEL, CentOS, Fedora.
I don’t know of a Linux that runs video/audio processing software of the caliber available for Windows and Mac.
I’d love to see something like Camtasia and CuBase avaialble for Linux.
The problem is providing a port of these apps to work on the myriad Linux distributions, almost all of which are using different kernel versions, different versions of X, different window managers, etc.
Sounds like you are a real techie. I am just a casual user with basic understanding.

It is difficult for a company to justify putting tens of thousands of man hours and millions of dollars of NRE into a software program that will be free.
