Selecting preinstalled packages
Cover all workflows
The aim for Ubuntu Studio is to cover all possible workflows in the range of digital arts production, which includes audio, graphics, video and writing.
No duplication of tools
If two applications do the same exact thing, only one of them should be included.
Deciding between two of the same
When deciding between two of the same type of applications, we usually choose the more common and popular one, since that is what most of our users will like to use, as well as being the best maintained.
Pro Tool vs Beginner Tool
Sometimes two applications will do the same things, but one is targeted at beginners and one at pros. In this case we prefer to include both, unless one application is friendly both to pros and beginners.
