Davinci Resolve (free version)No real reason to use clipchamp…
2 daysI 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.

Game interrupted by update
<— You are here
Game interrupted by ransomware

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.

Kdenlive too.
I switched to kdenlive after I couldn’t get Davinci to function properly on linux
@Larry KDEN! I new I was forgetting something. Gonna add that to the list in my reply.

Kden is better than it has any right to be. I’m not professional by any means, but it’s quite useful

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.

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

Blender has a Video Editing 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
- WereCat@lemmy.worldEnglish1 day
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

ShotCut is my personal favourite of those. Simple but powerful, though the UI is admittedly clunky.
@nightlily Whoops that was weird. In my brain I had put CapCut on the list and not ShotCut. That’s what I get for not re-reading MY OWN original post.
But yes, ShotCut is REALLY good LOL.

My Kdenlive video editor continues to save wherever I want it to for free. Just saying.
And yes, it has a Windows version, if you’re too much of a coward to migrate to Linux.
Kdenlive is wild. It’s got almost all the features Adobe premiere has.
The best feature they’ve kept out is the subscription you have to pay to cancel.

TIL microslop provided a video editing tool post 2020
TIL it’s been enshittified to the point of not bothering to ever use it
I didn’t use it when it was “free”. I sure as hell won’t use when it’s tied to OneDrive, which can die in a pit fire.

I miss windows movie maker, it was so simple and effective. Of course thats probably why they killed it.

In case this is something of a deal breaker for someone, please try setting up a VM and playing around with Linux. You don’t need to install it on your main system, or try dual booting it, but load up a VM and give it a shot. You don’t have to stick with it and if you don’t like it or it doesn’t work for you or it’s too confusing or whatever, that’s fine. At least you can say that you gave it a shot.
