From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i wonder why we have so many foss video editors. i get if there were multiple implementations to serve KDE / Gnome but it's insane that all of them have some kind of bugs or fall short of having the features somebody trying to leave the commercial ones behind would want...
as far as i'm aware there's only one gimp and i would have guessed photo editing to be more simple than video editing
There are Krita and Pinta too
aren't those more drawing apps and less photo editing?
Yes, but often alternatives.
Situation: there are 14 competing editors.
True true, photo editing needs to catch up, also 3d cad software, there's only freecad in 3d field
Editing people are opinionated and capable of programming.
And gimp is still terrible, while, in my limited experience, kdenlive is very useable.
yeah kdenlive is probably the best one, i had some ui bugs in the recent past which made it unusable because panels would just have black text on black background :/
i really want to like flowblade, but i assume they need some more dev time to get there
Had that as well on macOS. Problem went away when I switched the system from dark mode to light mode (or the other way round, don’t remember). But generally, I have to use Premiere for work anyways. For personal projects I prefer DaVinci Resolve though because, in my experience, it’s the most stable and performs the best of any program I’ve tried.
