This site is promoting Linux plug-ins with resources for developers and users

A musician-led initiative is aiming to bring more plug-ins to Linux. That includes promoting developers (both proprietary and libre/open source), featuring software for users, and answering developer questions. Linux Audio Plugin Development (LAPD) is already worth a look; you’re likely to discover some plug-in or information you hadn’t before.

Now, we can say this is the tool used in Oscar-winning films (Flow).
