Surprise! A new video! (Patreon)

This video has a funny story.
I originally wrote it to be a huge punch at Kdenlive, specifically, why I use 18.12 instead of the mess that it 20.08.
When I was preparing the voice over, I decided that rather than attacking it, why not promote it and briefly explain why I use 18.12 instead of the latest version.
As I rewrote the script, it became a "Why Kdenlive is the best free editor" sort of video; a far cry from what the original script was. 😂
I've been belligerent about low-quality OSS projects before and people generally don't like it (duh). And when checking my own biases, I do think I'm a little too harsh especially when most of these people are working for free on their own time.
I recorded footage for this video on Linux and Windows. I've picked up a lot of Windows users (mostly in the furry community it seems) and I think I want to pivot the channel to focus more on Open Source Software in general, especially cross-platform stuff.
Kdenlive worked amazingly well on Windows. Scrubbing the timeline was significantly smoother than on Linux. And video effects didn't lag the preview as they do on Linux. Wow!
I low-key hope I annoy some long-time Linux extremists by showing some Windows footage. I don't like the hardcore Linux users and anti-Windows users leaving nasty comments and saying rude things during live streams.
Distro Delves is still largely focused on Linux distros (simply because they are so many) but I want to showcase more Open Source Software that runs on Windows and Linux.
imo we, as a community, should be excited about Open Source in general, regardless of where it runs. Linux is just one of the hundreds (thousands?) of Open Source projects.
