Question is very vague. Ask more precisely what you want :) – kravemir Jul 15 '12 at 11:34

I'm not much of a Linux guy, but these are my recommendations based on research and experience:
Programming
- Eclipse IDE for code editing and project management.
- Java.
- GCC.
- Python.
- OpenGL.
Programming Libraries
- Java2D.
- SDL.
- PyGame.
- Allegro.
Art
- The Gimp (bitmap).
- Inkscape (vector graphics).
- Blender (3D).
Sound
- Audacity.
- LMMS (Linux Multimedia Studio).

1Ardour which is a digital audio workstation is worth taking a look at as far as sound goes – Steve Obbayi Jul 14 '10 at 22:17

@Steve Ardour has certainly come a long way since the last time I had a look at it. Not quite what I am after as the MIDI stuff is lacking compared to Apple Logic Studio, but not bad all the same. – Cromulent Jul 16 '10 at 02:45

Blender might be worth checking out, both for asset creation and for the game engine it offers.
