Y'all I fucking hate windows but running linux went fine until I had to do some video editing for classwork. Premiere pro, which I had a student license for, obviously out. I go looking for FOSS alternatives because hey i'm sure there's a good linux video editor. I think I ended up settling on Kdenlive. I tried installing it from the ubuntu app store and that version was missing features. I tried installing it with apt-get and then proceeded to spend the next 5 hours trying to fix a missing dependancy that seemed to have just vanished off the face of fhe earth. I'm sure there are workarounds but "able to look through the error logs of the apt-get and track down the problem" apparently wasn't tech-savvy enough to have a video editor, one of the most important types of professional software IMO. (also i spent so much money on games cause proton doesn't play nice with piracy very often). I think lonux is perfect for thw really basic user or for the hyper advanced superuser types, but when you're in the middle it can be a real bitch to work with.

Blender is low key the best video editor on Linux for future reference
Ooh, I didn't know you could edit videos in Blender. I've been looking to learn how to do editing and Blender's already a little familiar. Thanks!
Blender does fucking everything lol, insane how much is packed into that amazing piece of FOSS
While I agree with you that video editing under Linux is seriously lacking, I think that your conclusion
lonux is perfect for thw really basic user or for the hyper advanced superuser types
is not justified. There are not that many people who need to use a video editor.
Not sure if my AdBlock is responsible for not knowing about any of these ads even existing or EU.
I would love another plug and play experience like I get with windows so I can spend my very limited time on playing the games I like out of the box. Any ideas on how I would do that please?
