I use Brave browser. I love it.

I like Strawberry for music.

If you choose to use proxies, there's no need to "un-proxie" the clips in your project bin as Kdenlive will always use the original clips when rendering. Also, another tip is to pre-render portions of your video that appear to be stuttering. The best I can shoot in is 1k, so I'm going to download some 4k videos and try out some of the techniques you covered. Thanks for your work.

Hey, AMD CPUs do have something like quicksync in the 7000 series and up. Its called Smart Access Video, i know it works with Davinci resolve but i dont know more then that, maybe something to look into.

Very nice, great video.

I stumbled across this video. I just have to say, I sincerely appreciate how you explained everything in detail, both the good and the bad. You set expectations for what you can expect, but also what you should do before even getting started. I am a long-time Linux user, literally downloaded the very first "distros" and worked on some of them. It is easy for me to preach the merits, but it is much better for people that have worked through this like you have, and especially from your industry. Thank you!

This is great just for LocalSend alone. For anyone that wants FOSS alternatives to Obsidian I suggest Joplin as it can filesync between your desktop and your phone via Dropbox, Onedrive etc.

So grateful for the calm, collected way this was filmed, no shouting l no overanimated responses, it felt like listening to a good friend explain something to you. Loved it!

Good luck diversifying your dependencies! I've made a similar switch at the turn of the century and owe my career to that decision. I never understood how Adobe managed to appeal to so many creatives.

Great video! So many who switch don't put in the effort or seem to underestimate the effort that it is going to take. You seem to have gone into it with a very good set of expectations. Welcome to the community.

Been on Linux for a few years, best decision of my life. Had a windows VM for a few years, but open source VR is close enough now that i can bridge the gap with some contributions of my own

Contentt is prducedd

I still like MacOS best. I've been running Mojave on a custom build for several years and i def prefer it to any Linux distro. That being said, id certainly use Linux over Windows. Im a computer guy and give Zorin to residential customers and Mint to businesses. In 3 years of doing that, ive never gotten a single phone call about them. I like Ubuntu-based distros far more than others and i like several DE's. Im def a "fan" of linux and I will daily drive it before I'll use a version of Mac OS that forces AI. (So im sure my switch is inevitable)

You mentioned being used to Resolve. That is officially supported on Linux as far as I know, with some kinks to do with audio formats

I am curious about your use case and flow with Digikam and Darktable? I also still have CaptureOne 12 on my mac and syncing tags, labels is a pain if you want to use xmp files (with or without extenstions like file.raf.xmp or file.xmp)

Speaking of the various CODECS: it seems that certain AUDIO VISUAL recordings will ONLY play with certain file extensions - right?

Can you - DECOMPILE - the Mac version of Adobe, and then Linux RECOMPILE, so that it works with your current OS?

Good part about linux you'll break free from Addiction.

What HARDWARE is properly compatible with Linux? Do you find using Linux is SIMILAR to operating the Mac OS?

Sorry if someone else has already mentioned this, but DaVinci Resolve seems to work well on Nobara (Fedora base). I'm a newb on Linux as well so it takes a little bit to get it finally working correctly, but I think I have it working smoothly now. Since I paid for Studio version, DR on Linux was a must before I could switch full time.

I use Linux on an old laptop to create DIY NAS. Great experience so far.

A really good Computer would be a Lenovo Pseries laptop P50 P51 P52 P53 - That is if you can find one Off Lease - That would be the far best for value... I would have to say it beats apple in all aspects of repairability...

If you can use 100% OSS drivers (eg AMD, not nVidia for the GPU, and research your peripherals before you buy), Fedora is a super polished choice, and modern GNOME is very Mac-like.

At 100 I was half the time into kernel panics.

I've been using Linux only for several years now and haven't looked back. This is an excellent look at the benefits and struggles of switching over, especially for someone who does content creation. While people always say that the barrier is software, as you show here, the real barrier is the user's willingness to work on the change themselves. A lot of people complain and struggle because things don't work the way they're used to and their willingness to learn a new way. My reasons for switching were to get away from Microsoft, and when I switched, subscriptions weren't a thing. It was easier for me because I'm not really a content creator, the only things I needed were for photo editing. I dabble in other creation, but it's not important for me.

Good stuff - helpful, thank you. Related: Zorin has been excellent for reviving an old PC my own use, and in guest room where people "just want it to work" for the basics like web surfing, viewing a huge library of family photos and docs stored on the machine, and printing docs/PDFs. I use Windows 11 Pro and Kubuntu on separate machines. Master of the obvious, pros and cons to each....nice to have options.

after the "recall" thing, I said enough. I switched to my favorite Mageia. I have been using this since it was called Mandrake. Friendly install and rpm management has really come a long way.

When Windows 10 came out, I was using Win7 and didn't want to switch at all. Having my own business and had to use some Windows programs day to day, I wasn't sure what I needed to do because I WAS switching to Linux at that point. I bought a Hard Drive Switcher, allowing me to have up to 4 hard drives (SSD) on my systems and to choose what to boot with. That way I was able to keep Windows on my system during the transition to Linux. After about 3 months I formatted the Windows drive and I'm free! Just about all of my older software programs worked great with Wine, such as MS Publisher, Quickbooks, Dreamweaver 8, and AcdSee. Paintshop pro 2020 would not work and that was a tough one for me to do without, but I played with enough older versions and Linux native programs to fill in the gaps. Linux Mint is my daily driver on all my computers and I even bought a mini PC and put Ubuntu Server on it to run my Plex. Still learning, but Linux has put the fun back in to my computer. We all had to learn Windows at one time, so if we take a little time to play with Linux, we can all be better off.

What about digikam? Have you looked into it? Seems interesting for imagine catalogue.

Why can't Affinity run on Linux?

I made the switch because of all the spying, telemetry, ads, and nonsense that windows wants to throw at you constantly, Cortana, Copilot, onedrive...all are garbage. As is subscribing to Adobe rather than owning it. Sure, it looks pretty and you're used to it, but nobody should have any right to follow my every keystroke just because I bought their O/S. Linux Mint 20 (desktop) and 22 (laptop) are amazing. WPS office is basically the very same interface as MS office. VLC is great for media, and steam is designed for linux. And frankly, Thunderbird is better than Outlook.

100 days? Not bad. If other videos I've seen on RUclips are to be believed most people seem to chicken out before they even hit a month. I've been a Linux user for over two decades now, having used Windows 95 through XP before it.

Very refreshing review/update. Good luck building your new PC. Have fun trying out other distros. Maybe install them as virtual machines? There are even a couple of ways to install MacOS virtually unter Linux via Qemu or Docker if you miss some Apple Software... It does not work very well, but it works.

I would avoid Intel 13th and 14th gen. There's something whacky going on with them at hardware level and intel is trying to cover it up by boosting the voltages to keep them stable. Gamer's Nexus, Jaystwocents, TechYESCity, and Level1Techs have been covering it.

60+ days for me since I switched to Linux. In fact, today (8/3/2024) I finally nuked my 250GB SSD drive which had the last of my Windows installation on it. I haven't booted into it for over a month except to just do updates. I've moved all my personal files to my Linux partition. It's so nice to have an OS that allows me to configure it the way I need to make it work. CachyOS is my distro of choice. Games run great, and my other apps I used under Windows either have a Linux version, an alternate version, or if there wasn't one, I have been lucky that I can make the Windows applications work in Wine using Bottles. Very nice! Worse comes to worse, I also have a Windows VM in case I need access to those very few apps that just won't work under Linux in Wine.

If you're particularly comfortable with Resolve already and aren't aware, there's a guide I followed here on RUclips for how to get it running on any distro and keep it functional regardless of what you do with the rest of your system. If you've already got a license for the paid version, then you won't even need to worry about the limitations in the free version on Linux. I believe it was by Michael Horn; He basically shows how to set up a Fedora 37 container with all of the necessary dependencies using DistroBox, then install Resolve in the container where it lives by itself, isolated but still able to make use of your hardware as if it were installed directly on your host system. Very useful workaround for how...temperamental it can be on this side of the fence.

imo pop os might be better for a creative person since it uses gnome and gnome seems to have decent support for wacom tablets

Welcome to the Linux community. I am on Ubuntu server 24.04 with a (free) pro subscription. 24.04 with pro is supported until 2034! I am using openbox with picom. You can even control the look of the pop-up windows. I am a fan of rounded corners and partial transparency. Just to give you new ideas.

I switched from kdenlive to DaVinci Resolve about a year+ ago and _that_ was a steep learning curve 🙂 Am using Mageia Linux on my workstation.

One thing I love about using Linux as a primary OS is that you can get a full, capable , and usable systems out of old office equipment that nobody wants anymore and that you can basically get for free or very cheap.

I use refurbished Dell optiplex mini's. They come with W10 Pro and sometimes W11. 8 and 16G of RAM with Sata and NVME SSD 256G to 1TB. Works great with Linux.

Thanks for your honesty. I like the way you presented your video, a nice calm and smooth voice.
