For the most part this is how I make my videos.
Recording
OBS
Audacity (if I need to split channels)
Editing
For the most part on video I use...
KDenLive (screenshot of current vid I am working on)
Currently learning Final Cut Pro and Adobe shit too.
REAPER for audio (was ported to linux but can't seem to open it?)
Music Sources
I contact the artists before I use their music and I haven't really been turned away yet. Everyone I asked was chill with it.
Drafting
Pages / Libreoffice

Most of the time if I get stuck I normally ask people for an opinion. Most of my work is done in linux minus the off chance my mac is more useful that day. For the most part my videos I have made for my YT channel that I edit and put together are done in KDenLive and REAPER if I have to adjust sound. Other than that, heres an example of one of my videos.
Largely my workflow is built off of consistant search of free shit to use. How it actually came to be so convenient was that I kept running at it and trying to learn it all. For example: I learned windows movie maker before KDenLive but for what I wanted to do it was like comparing finger paint to an art exhibit. I made my first video in KDenLive in high school and blew everyone away. No one in my class at the time really had a laptop or the ability to really come up with such a thing. I made it on my pentium M laptop, got a lot of praise, and prom then on I was immediately into it and always fiddled with it. It wasn't until the start of 2015 when I would fiddle with GMOD and source demo's (RIP Kitty0706, large part of it goes to him for inspiring me to do this stuff).
Then other tools are based on that they have the expansion that I want. REAPER for example is a real world widely used DAW that I have used since.... I think middle school? 2008... So yeah end of MS going into HS. I recorded podcasts and shit on it in school with friends and even produced a couple beats for music I never put out and have probably lost, lol. I may have to reinstall it after 60 days but its more than worth the effort to use.
Pages and the mac stuff (including adobe on it) is that I want to expand the machines I use. I like to separate what machines do. My streaming and recording box (what KDenLive is on) is my main work station. My mac is going to be my normal editing machine when I have desk space a plenty. Etc...
