    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.

        I 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.

          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.

          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.

    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.

    The program now requires video projects to be saved to Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud storage service in order to continue editing them, reports Windows Latest.

    According to Microsoft, the media files themselves (such as video clips and images) don’t necessarily need to be synced to the cloud.

    This is less shitty than I expected. Forcing people to put videos and images in OneDrive could have pushed them towards paying for more OneDrive space, but if it’s just the project file I’m not even sure why Microsoft made the change. Are Clipchamp project files big?

      Just think of all that lovely video information for their AI to harvest…

        How much video information does a project file even have though? Like, if it’s just instructions for editing together the video clips, that aren’t even being uploaded, that doesn’t seem very useful for AI training.
