I hope I'm not the only one in here who nuked my Reddit account voluntarily after they started ramping up censorship.
Basically, I saw what was coming and bailed off that site while I was still ahead.

That I played with on an old Pentium II rig? The now-defunct Crunchbang (Bunsen Labs is that distro's successor).
That I actually used as a daily driver? Ubuntu 12.10.
I've been daily-driving Linux for well over a decade at this point and have pretty much settled on Arch now after multiple distro-hops in that timespan.
I ditched Reddit because the writing's on the wall for them becoming a complete hellscape with their ramping up of censorship recently, and I jumped ship before that Titanic of a platform sinks.
The Steam Deck is at least trying to attract the casual users in, and I feel like the Switch 2 getting hammered with bad press right now and getting destroyed by the Nintendo fanbase might convert a few people over to the Steam Deck too.
That sucks, how long before DR goes full Adobe and starts moving to a subscription model? And how long before Blackmagic paywalls some features on their cine cams like Canon started doing on their still cams?
I thought for sure the free version of DR was still a fully-featured suite and didn't paywall anything ala Adobe, and what you got with the paid version was an actual upgrade over an already pretty powerful app.
I'd more likely argue they're facilitating it, but that's just me.
DaVinci Resolve also has a free version that's a fully-featured editor with nothing locked behind a paywall, the benefit from buying the paid version is you get an actual upgrade in functionality over the already-pretty-powerful free version.
However it's still a proprietary app so if that bothers you, then KdenLive seems like a good FOSS alternative to that.
Thanks!
Adobe's been starting to get some pushback and people ditching them for FOSS alternatives lately, though. One of the more notable examples is James Lee as he details in his 'How I Broke up with Adobe' vid.
Here's the old version of that drawing which I drew years ago for kicks. Although, the old version is slightly different from the new version, the new version features Marill while the old version features Togepi, and they're oriented differently.
I have 32GB and for most of what I do, which is normal desktop stuff and gaming, and occasionally messing with VMs, it's fine if not overkill.
