       Back in KDE, home sweet home. I'd say I still prefer it on a workstation interface, macOS' interface on portable computing things (though it isn't bad on a desktop either).The big thing, I think, is app compatibility between macOS and Linux; the former has Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro, and Adobe shits, and Linux can have alternatives (Ableton via Wine, DaVinci Resolve, Boxy SVG and whatnot) and lightweight applications, but mostly shines in truly nerdy shits like development, virtualization and nerdy stuff like that as well as some creative apps.

       I mean, I was having tons of fun in Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro, though those are by video editors and DAWs, I'm sure Ableton (which works via Wine) can do a similar job without Apple's shit, ditto with a competent video editor.The one thing, and this can apply with Windows as well, that I think wins over Linux is uniformity; you right click on an image, it says "hey that's an image! wanna save it, do whatever, open in this app, share it?", you drag an image onto your Downloads folder in your dock, it just copies it there, you get IINA or QuickTime to load a video, it plays it best, rounded interface, streamlined, looks uniform, everything. Even Finder, you can just preview files by pressing Space.Whereas on Linux it usually is a bit more finicky or unrefined; dragging and dropping may not work, right clicking in the browser isn't the same as in the OS, so on and so forth.

       @atlas_core Final Cut Pro is a pretty unique NLE and there isn't really an equivalent out there or anything. The closest is probably DaVinci Resolve.The way Final Cut is the way it is is due to FCPX, before that it was like any other NLE and it was the industry standard as well. When Apple pushed FCPX a lot of people didn't like the update and Premiere Pro is the industry standard now.

       @atlas_core Also I don't think there's that big of a difference between Logic and Ableton to justify preferring one over the other. The only "unique" DAW out there are Pro Tools and FL Studio

       @eric Truthfully I have no experience in professional video editing enough for me to say what I do and don't like with confidence, what I will say is it's surprisingly easy to just go in, take random footage, decide "I want stabilization, blur this specific object, add filter for that object, add that and this on the timeline, ..." as opposed to Kdenlive, though it's fair to say they both do different things.As for DAWs, Logic is simple to understand and so is Ableton after a while (AFAIK Ableton's "Clips" are Logic's "Live Loops"), the real thing comes down to if it supports your "control surface" properly, and if you can make music. FL Studio, I find interesting in that it's really easy, for me, to go in, fuck around, come up with something, extremely simply. Doesn't feel like I put effort in it though.

       @atlas_core Yeah FCP is currently the most intuitive out there. "Control Surface" is just a standard MIDI thing, there should be a setting in your MIDI controller to select what DAW you are using to make it work properly.

       @eric still need to fuck with DaVinci Resolve, huh... I find my MiniLab 3 to work well with everything (except legacy applications, but whatever) so that's not an issue, so long as I can make something that sounds right, grrjust remembered I fiddled with Premiere Pro a while back, and I think it is far more suited to just adding clips, sound effects, images, things like that with very basic effects and filters. I don't like it; Kdenlive replicates it. Never tried After Effects, however.

       @atlas_core After Effects is not an NLE. It's a compositing suite, similar to Motion and the "Fusion" feature in DaVinci Resolve
