Gregory's Server@art in fairness, FOSS alternatives rarely have feature parity with hugely popular proprietary corporate-backed software. I’m not surprised people don’t want to move from Sony Vegas or Davinci resolve pro to Kdenlive. For us novice users, it’s fine. For a professional who uses every single tool in the toolbox, I’d understand why kdenlive may just not cut it for them. (1/2)

Sure, but there are FOSS programs that are basically industry leaders, and plenty of other cases where a FOSS program can be a strict upgrade for someone's use case. For instance, VLC is a much more capable program than windows media player. But not everyone is willing to download VLC! Most people are just not interested in trying new things on their computer, and will only do so when it is an absolute necessity. |
@art (2/2) I also believe that FOSS just struggles to advertise itself because it lacks the funding to do so. A neat idea for an organization would be one that assists in advertising for FOSS. Tricky to figure out how that would work though.
