Software Suggestions

A couple of quick suggestions ...

Presentations - LibreOffice (although I much prefer the Presentation option in Google docs myself at it allows me to easily embed and share online as well as download in different formats).

Film Editor - Openshot well worth looking at! This is being developed further as we speak and will also be available for the Windows and Mac environments as well as (I think) a 'hosted' option.

Photo Editing - Gimp;  DigiKam (like an open source Lightroom)
