  • What is the name of the pro-video editor that was coming to Linux, and is it out yet? You were talking about it once , and I never heard any other news about it .

  • @maw88ify Lightworks. it's in public beta right now, but only for Windows. If I remember correctly, the Linux version is supposed to come out this Christmas.

    Novacut is in development as well. They just made their kickstarter campaign goal, raising $25,000 in a month, so hopefully we'll see something out of that before too long.

    Of course I'm still decently happy with Kdenlive, myself. 0.8 has been a great release.

  • @thisweekinlinux Thanks I hope to see it on Linux soon. On another note have you tested " Adobe Edge " yet ? Have you heard of any good pro 2D animation software coming to Linux ? Right now I use " Pencil 0.4.4b " , but it's no were as good as Toonboom, Anime Studio 8 , or Flash. Sure the will run in Wine , but I really really want to see a native pro 2D animation software on Linux.

  • @maw88ify I don't really do anything in terms of animation, but a quick google search brought up Synfig and Ktoon. Have you looked at those?

see all

  • great answer.. though I no more use linux on my main pc, I prefer windows for autodesk and adobe software.. 4 years on linux, more than 10-15 distros, :D I even tried freebsd 9, which really sucks at hardware and software support..however, my netbook still rocks with arch linux...cheers linux users!))

  • After much deliberation and comparisons and experiences I have chosen "Linux Mint Debian Edition Xfce" as my choice Linux distro

  • Nice presentation. For those who look for the very stable OS with a bunch of freely available software, I would suggest Debian (I guess most linux users find it boring, but it works perfectly). I have Arch linux installed too on my old machine and I am quite happy with it. I suggest installing Arch to those who would like to learn more about linux. Archwiki is the place to look if you have any problem whatsoever concerning any aspect of GNU/linux OS no matter which distro you run.

  • great guy... i will monitor you :).. yeah arch linux ftw. atm im running ubuntu with gnome 3 and im very comfotable with it

  • Arch Linux ftw!

  • i cant hear shit

  • @smiley33zz sudo apt-get install nameofprogram. in Unbutu its really that simple i terminal. in my Debian it is apt-get install nameofprogram. in Ubuntu and Debian their is software centers that you can download software from their servers I guess. if you get it off the internet, you are trying to compile the software from source. To compile software from source you need all the development tools to make the software work. I hope this helps.

  • openSuse rocks, I love it. I'll take it over any OS there is.

  • change directories, and root stuff.... it gets very confusing...... ( to think i kinda had a grip on things ) lol I just got frustrated with the whole windows limitations, and restraints... I chose to try other venues....... As enthusiastic as I was ... i am becoming more and more discouraged in this approach.. do to the complexeties.. as I mentioned in my request !! Thanx again.... and I look forward to possibly seeing you post something som

  • First off, I would like to thank you for your video and extensive info.I would really like to see a video on how to install an application, or utility on ubuntu, or linux, that would lessen the biggest margin their is between windows and Mac vs. open source Operating systems. I can do the repository thing, but when it comes to the moving files , and installing , and running them via the terminal and all of the SU- sudo,
