Color me skeptical
The Foss community already tried for years. And the gap is widening even more thanks to AI.
Speak for yourself. GIMP rules, and DaVinci Resolve (not OSS, but still free) does just fine.
Fuck Adobe.
Davinci is straight up way better than premiere lol
DaVinci has its quirks and one or two things I wished it had. But, it is far more feature-rich than 95% of the population needs. And for the other 5%, there's plenty of plugins.
Openshot, kdenlive, handbrake, we got a bunch of options.
Even as a FOSS lover, those softwares are unfortunately light years behind professional solutions like Premiere, DaVinci, Photoshop, etc. But I wish he would open source all those Abode projects.
I agree, these solutions are more of light and hobbyist solutions. Adobe has always been the leader of the creative tools and it's unfortunate.
GIMP is for hobbyists. Ir has a broken core that needs a rewrite to fix.
Way better alternative is Affinity Photo.
Really wish davinci had a flatpak or appimage
GIMP does rule!
