Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

    While I agree with you that video editing under Linux is seriously lacking, I think that your conclusion

    lonux is perfect for thw really basic user or for the hyper advanced superuser types

    is not justified. There are not that many people who need to use a video editor.

    The problem is it's not just video editing, like I would daily Linux if fusion 360 ran natively on Linux, if steam VR wasn't broken, if Adobe apps were made for Linux, and if the slicer I use for 3d printing wasn't such a pain to get running on nix. As things sit now I use Linux for my laptops but for my main desktop I feel pretty stuck with Windows for now, I dual boot but 90% of the time it's in windows.

    Again, none of the things you listed are that commonly used. Most of the PC users don't do 3D modeling or VR.

    Those are both very popular things as of the last 5 years, but basically the point is that everyone has hobbies and quite a bit are PC focused and require software that is not made for Linux and it kinda sucks that devs aren't making Linux builds of their software because it stands in the way of daily driving Linux on our main PCs
