The fact DaVinci resolve doesn't have a flatpak version yet is insane to me.

[CPTMP]

I think that 'DaVinci not working on linux out of the box' issue should be addressed to the linux devs team @ da Vinci Systems

[anon_y_mousse]

I think the key to getting more people to use open source programs is to ease them into it. If you can convince someone to spend just an hour a week playing with some alternative, eventually they'd get used to it and maybe try to use it for something bigger. One of the things that helped me when I first moved to Linux was that things like GIMP and vim had Windows-native builds. I even found a plugin that allowed me to add a right click entry to open any file with vim. Doesn't sound like much, but this was in the Win98 days.

The KDE team is having a fundraising campaign for Kdenlive.

I can't link it because I'll be flagged for spam, just go look for it.

Hey, Michael!

I just discovered your channel and wanted to let you know that I love your content. Pretty high quality, straight to the point, and fun to watch.

I was watching an older video and it was nice to find that you're still uploading. Keep it up, mate :)

[ALBKESTRELYTofficial]

To be honest i just switched totally on from win 10 to kde neon am having an blast it is not complicated to download and play games, obs it is here to record videos and kdenlive to edit them simple as that.

[zeckma]

I also make YT videos, and before switching to Linux, one of the biggest things holding me back was video production. OBS always worked like a charm, but I used Sony Vegas 13 at the time. It just worked, although needed a patch since I'm not gonna pay $400 for it. Looking for a good alternative took a long time. Kdenlive was extremely clunky to me, Da Vinci Resolve just seemed to have so many problems with what I heard, plus licensing issues.

I discovered Shotcut, which made me switch over, although has an audio problem and the timeline process being clunky, as well as adding media having too many extra steps. Next was thumbnail tools, and I always just used art programs for it. I first used Autodesk Sketchpad way before, but switched to Krita as an artist, which also gave way more options for thumbnails. I think those were the big things. Mostly just the video editing software is the biggest hurdle for me.

I loved this analysis, though! You've beem doing really great and it's really cool watching you progress as a Linux YouTuber.

Yes, installing some software on Linux is a pain. It's like a quest in RPG. It's time to defeat the dragon! ...but first you need to upgrade the sword, brew a magic potion, gain more experience and so on.

[slendi]

Yet another uh-mazin video! This channel is seriously underrated.

[thechayanbiswas]

“ Mental outlaw ” going to make another of his boring lecture video about your video's reasons, that Linux is still under development.
I found your video on my timeline mate, it was enjoyable, you're enthusiastic about it...

[iodreamify]

I like cool Michael in sunglasses, he should appear more often 😎
The situation with Davinci Resolve irks me so much because it's a popular video editor even overall outside Linux and yet each time the number one issue is just getting it to install correctly, it's really a shame.

[JahidulIslam]

That's why I went with Nvidia GPU. It's much better supported under Linux for this type of work.

[hruettimann]

Nobara OS is based on Fedora and comes with Resolve specific modifications and additions. I am curious to try next time I do a fresh install.
So far we run all Resolve editing and grading workstations on CentOS and with NVIDIA GPUs, so pretty straight forward install. The cool thing is, Wacom graphics tablet works out of the box, I don’t even need to connect a mouse during the install process (so better experience than macOS or Win). But Lightworks - another commercial video editing we are interested in using - does prefer Fedora apparently...

[CPTMP]

BTW lots of software for Fedora comes as RPMs and Flatpaks. Which ones do you prefer? It just seems like Flatpak often has newer versions. This can include even basic Gnome apps like Calculator or Calendar.

[notjustforhackers]

Lightworks, Davinci Resolve, Lightworks, Maya, Lightworks, Houdini 3d, Lightworks, Boris FX, Lightworks, Renoise, Lightworks, REAPER, Lightworks, Bitwig Studio, Lightworks, Aftershot Pro, Lightworks, BricsCAD, Lightworks, Unreal Engine... etc, etc, did I mention Lightworks?

Why the hell does no one ever talk about *LIGHTWORKS*???? Davinci this, Davinci that... Lightworks damn it 🙂

[emshomar]

Ardour is also a good software that likes to be mentioned I feel

[beautifulislam]

Open source software I am using right now "Gimp, Shotcut, VS Code and Libreoffice." 😎
Edit: Also Linux on my pc.

[georgepetrakis]

We need a flatpak version of davinci resolve... kdenlive is a joke if you need predefined templates for titles, slideshows etc. Then again why resolve's devs shouls be bothered? Linux at least needs 10 maybe 20% desktop market share for devs to bother and make things right for linux support.

[iclonethefirst]

So when you’re installing an app on Linux, it exactly knows what's missing. Couldn't there be a system in which developers have the option to link these libraries so that it’ll just ask you "hey, these things are missing to run this app. Continue download & install them?".

[erikwhite]

This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.
