except for industry-specific software like video editing

Unless you're referring to Abode directly, the video and VFX industry has a much bigger presence on Linux.

All the major software offerings (except for Adobe) not only have Linux versions, but some are also first-class offerings on Linux.

Ok, I don't actually know if it's "all", but it's definitely most.

It's been a few decades since I got into it, but can you tell me the best Linux alternatives to Adobe Premiere / After Effects, Final Cut Pro, and AVID? I've tried a few and they tend to have problems with crashing and overall limited functionality.

Probably the best alternative to Premier is KdenLive or DaVinci.

As for After Effects, I'm not too sure. The alternatives definitely exist, I'm just not sure which one to recommend. It's been years since I've done any compositing. But I use KdenLive for video editing regularly and it's great.

In fact, the past year of development has been monumental in the amount of improvements and new features.

@CeeBee @zkikiz DaVinci Resolve includes Fusion, that's more than enough to replace After Effects any day of the week.

@CeeBee Also you mentioned compositing, the industry standard is Linux compatible and has a free trial too, Nuke.
