Davinci Resolve supports Linux natively nowadays, and the FOSS video editor Kdenlive is actually pretty impressive now as well.

I guess, I won’t do the classic “haha you have to run console to install an app” meme because I know there are distros that cater to Windows users like myself, the problem I find is that most software I’d want to use wouldn’t be supported like video editing and stuff I care about, I’m glad to see Linux rise because only then Microsoft will learn, but also there’s not a BIG issue that’s keeping me from using Windows for now.
It might change who knows.

If you’re into self harm, blender is a pretty well featured video editor as well. Also, is Linux native.

blenders realtime compositor is faster than any video editor, obv not nearly as good for the tasks youd do, but im sure someone better than me could do a lot with the realtime previews

Definitely I know, I’m just working with Adobe maybe to my own detriment haha.
I’ve also not followed anything on the gaming side, I heard it’s way better than what it once was but still with windows I guess, I know I can just run anything I want and work with.
I also kind of wish Windows wasn’t hell bent on making poor decisions, I don’t know how they didn’t start charging us with every version of Windows, I still got my Windows 8.1 key which I used until now, so that’s the only “okay” thing about them.

It truly is! In some cases (with AMD cards) it can even out-perform windows. For the most part most games just work without tweaking thanks to Proton being integrated into Steam, but unfortunately competitive online games with anti-cheat can be a no-go if the devs haven’t enabled Linux support (still, even there we have some surprises, like Hunt Showdown enabling it).

Heh, I thought for sure that video was going to be pewdiepie complaining about the user-lock-in of adobe, where not only do they charge a subscription fee, but demand another fee to stop using it!
Adobe are a great example of a sodftware company to do a full exit from as soon as possible. Utterly vile abuse of its users.

I found the switch to linux (22 years ago) easier by seeking software that provided solutions to what i wanted to accomplish, rather than trying to get the software i had been running working in linux.
Like for video editing… have you tried the various video editors available in linux to know which you might like best? I hear a lot of people prefer KDENLIVE. Some found their needs best met just with ffmpeg! There’s a whole range between an besides those.
PS, did you mistype
and meant Linux?
