Calling Linux’s version of DVR a “viable video editor” is rich given that a. It doesn’t work on most distros (it’s designed for Rocky Linux. It throws a fit on any other distro. You need to jerry-rig it), requiring a whole thang to get it to play nice; and that b. It doesn’t support any of the video formats and codecs people actually want to use, for seemingly no reason, since the Windows version supports those formats just fine.

KDENLiVe is like, fine for a simple project, but you quickly start hitting your head on its limitations. Plus its UI sucks just in general.

Video editing is the reason I keep a small Windows install, because sometimes I need to do video stuff for work and – Sorry. No. No Linux video editor even compares to the likes of Premiere and Vegas. They’re still barely above Windows Movie Maker.

GIMP is a perfectly serviceable image editor, and yes, GIMP 3 is a major improvement – But it’s kinda missing a lot of things Photoshop users take for granted, and its UI and hotkeys are very idiosyncratic, which makes migrating very hard (… I sorta have the opposite problem though. I learned image editing on GIMP and all my muscle memory is GIMP oriented, so even when I’m on my ‘time to work’ windows install, I only really open PS if I desperately need one of its exclusive functions, cuz otherwise I’d have to relearn my whole workflow)

Requirement: let me play the video games I want to play that have anticheat

A stiff requirement

Fractional scaling is still a mess

wayland clipboard

Lol

Also kdenlive was still a pain for me to work with, but that was mostly because of its layout, shorcuts, and wording of some features.

Otherwise yeah, we’ve made it pretty far.

Don’t worry guys, we’ll never have VR

HDR with an Nvidia GPU?

“Linux is ready” - which distro? Fractional (sometimes even non-fractional) scaling is a mess. Most things that go beyond changing the wallpaper image need some command line stuff. Linux Desktop is for nerds and definitely not ready.

Yes it works fine if you know what you are doing but most people don’t. There is often not one thing of doing stuff, but hundreds. It already starts with the selection of a distro how would a “non-computer-person” decide on a distro. Just try them out? Install twenty different distros because reasons?

Unless resources are pooled into a single distro to polish it and make a defacto standard for ordinary people, homes and offices, Linux is not ready. If I need the freaking terminal because I want to see the day of the week next to the date it’s not ready.

Can someone more plugged in than me show me what I gotta do to get that ‘Discord Wayland sharing’ working? I literally installed Vencord a month ago because every time I tried to share a window or my screen on discord it would hard crash.

I still haven’t got discord wayland screen sharing working. (No audio)

Still on vencord in the interim

all wife needs is Mahjong and shopping. not like I need to run Mine Sweeper. just a browser with Internet. Most could not install any operating system so charge for the install labor. lan-splaining is a waste of time. bring a book if Mom needs her windows fixed. thinking about putting her on linux when her machine finally pukes.

It certainly sounds like wayland is just about ripe. Any DE recommendations for a lifelong XFCE enjoyer like myself?
