  No real reason to use Winslop 11 either though.

    I wish that were true, but it’s not.

    As a UNIX Admin w/ 30+ years of UNIX admin experience, I am literally required to use Windows 11 for work.

    Yes, I have my Fedora system running XFCE for work too (it’s also my vagrant test bed), but I like millions of others am required to use winslop and it’s how work requirements go sometimes.

    Truth.

    Am still clinging to Win 10 Pro. Since I mostly game with the PC, and watch videos with that machine… do I really need to upgrade the OS as long as the games run? At least at this point, I won’t get a gaming session interrupted by an update anymore, which is nice.

      You should take a look at the games support for Valve’s Proton project. Games in Steam now mostly work perfectly in Linux because of it.

      There is a very, very short list of games that don’t “just work” in linux at this point.

      If your daily gaming is nothing but LoL or twitch competitive shooters and you’ve gotta play whatever the trend is, linux won’t work 100% of the time. In basically any other case, it just works for gaming. If you MUST play some kind of competitive shooter, it’s real easy to have a dual boot setup with windows for that game.

      If the competitive shooters you want are supported here, there’s no reason to use windows for gaming. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ - Right now the biggest pain points are probably Battlefield 6, Call of Duty, League of Legends, Apex, Valorant, Fortnite… aka the games where the teenagers tell you how they fucked your mom. Many, many other titles just work, like The Finals, ARC Raiders, Counter-Strike 2, etc.

      Even with some games that do not have anti-cheat support, you can still run the game, you just have to join servers setup for linux that effectively do not have anticheat enabled. I think real flesh and blood admins do a better job anyway.

        Yaah… naah.

        I’d just pull the drive, reinstall on a new one, redownload the games and go merrily on my way. I have ZERO on the machine that is so important that I’d do anything other than that.

        NGL, it’s current install is getting a bit cluttered since the last time I redid it with a full erase and reformat, so it wouldn’t be too terrible.

        I don’t even have an email account set up on the device.

      If it’s not broke then don’t fix it.

  And this one… browser based opencut.app

  Kdenlive too.

  I switched to kdenlive after I couldn’t get Davinci to function properly on linux

  Blender has a Video Editing mode UI mode too.

  I’m not sure how it compares all I do in terms of editing is typically shortening video files. So if it’s missing features people would expect, I likely wouldn’t even know

    I use it at work, works fine for basic stuff. I can’t install anything on work PC but Blender can be downloaded and used in a portable version. IT hates this one trick

    Whoops that version was slightly out of date… by 5¾ years.

    But I can now confirm it’s still in there in modern versions Image

  DaVinci is also a one time payment with lifetime updates if you want the premium features, no stupid subscription or rebuying when the new version releases.

  The worst part about it is that it doesn’t officially support Linux very well.

    @Joelk111 I've been on Resolve since 15! Never spent another dime on it.

    I only include the free version in conversations like these, because if you were gonna use something like Clipchamp, you probably didn't need all the extra features of Resolve Studio.

    • Joelk111@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Oh for sure, it’s super incredibly cool that a free version exists that’s basically full featured for trying it out.

  ShotCut is my personal favourite of those. Simple but powerful, though the UI is admittedly clunky.
