What would happen if we evaluate platforms based on their video editors? Would you rather use KDE and Kdenlive or Gnome and Pitivi?

But both run on either desktop environment. This is a rather silly question.

why not just evaluate the apps themselves

Some video editors like Shotcut, Flowblade or Openshot are not affiliated with any particular platform, so you cannot evaluate them based on platforms. But Kdenlive and Pitivi are associated to specific Desktop environments and technologies. I am asking us to evaluate platforms based on their software. Lets evaluate KDE and Gnome based on what they have to offer?

But you can get both editors on either de? It’s not even like nautalus vs dolphin where you compare defaults since neither come preinstalled.

Next on the list of pointlessly reductive comparisons: let’s judge which is the best desktop environment solely on which has the superior clock app.

You jest, but I would love to read about that.

At least it is part of the desktop and not just an application using the same toolkit.

Applications are platform agnostic. I run Kdenlive on Gnome and it works flawlessly.

Yeah, people mix and match applications all the time, and they don’t look too out of place to begin with these days.

I’ve personally used kdenlive on Mac OS, and it seemed to work fine for what I needed to do (even though I didn’t really know what I was doing). Not sure if Pitivi is available on homebrew.

I don’t think it’s on Homebrew, but it is available on Nix. Nix has a much bigger repository comparable to the AUR and you can use it as a normal package manager.

Ooh, I need to look into that. Work won’t let me use Linux so I’m using the Mac for work stuff. I try to use the same applications I use on my personal Linux machines anyway.

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.
