From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Video editor for Linux? (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for a program that can cut video, adjust exposure levels, color correct, stabilize and encode.
I've never done anything like this before, so ease of use would be great. But if there's an established standard program (like Gimp for photos), I'll learn it. Any suggestions would be helpful.

As for DaVinci Resolve, installation can be a bit weird if you don't happen to run one of the officially supported Distros. Because of that, the easiest way to run it is probably via DistroBox, Michael Horn made a great tutorial about that: https://youtu.be/wmRiZQ9IZfc

Are there distro-specific issues? I've always just downloaded the zip and run the installer with no issues.

Personal example: Fedora (38 - 39). Resolve uses libs which depends on some older versions of a lib, which they don't ship in the installer.
So I had to replace the depending libs so that Resolve can run with Fedoras more recent libs.

Good to know. Thanks.

No Flatpak available?

[–] wolre@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

It wouldn't be trivial to package such a big app as a flatpak (or snap for that matter) and also maintain it properly, so as long as the original developers don't do the work I think it is unlikely to happen. But for a tool that I'm going to be using a lot in the future I think it makes sense to invest the time once to install it, even if it's a bit more complicated.
