This is great! Didn’t know about footage but had played with video trimmer.

I tried pitivi for a couple days and just ran into to many crashes and so I think it isn’t a real option currently.

I think removing unnecessary panels in shotcut is pretty close to perfect. Enough for now definitely

Since you already like Shotcut, two small GNOME-style apps can cover the light jobs, so you only open Shotcut when you need a real timeline:

• Video Trimmer (GNOME Circle): open a clip, drag the start and end, save. Very quick for trimming a single clip.
• Footage (Flathub): a little libadwaita app for trimming, cropping, rotating and converting one video.

Neither does multi-clip timelines, titles or transitions, so they sit next to Shotcut rather than replace it.

On Pitivi itself: it still installs from Flathub, but the last stable release was 2023.03 and development is very slow, so I wouldn't build a routine around it.

And if Shotcut feels busy for quick edits, the presets under View > Layout (Player or Logging, for example) hide most of the panels and make it a lot calmer.

Yeah but it’s too much for my needs and doesn’t fit the gnome desktop very well.

So far shotcut is closest to what I’m looking for. But thanks for the suggestion!

Have you looked at kdenlive?

Gnome + keyboard + mouse is okay for me even if also using a trackpad to switch workspaces feels the more satisfying.

I use Windows at work and I like the fact that my home computer feels 100% different.

I tried it and its very ugly to me, unfortunately. I'd rather just stick with shotcut at this point. I do more than cutting but I'm certainly not an advanced video editor so losslesscut wouldn't work for me either.

Openshot? Did you check this site https://alternativeto.net/ for alternatives? If all you do is cutting videos, then maybe losslesscut would be good for you too.

I've found GNOME okay on laptops where I can use a trackpad, but I don't really get along with it when using a mouse. What's your experience in that regard?

Though I suppose, ultimately, KDE wins me over by having so many default shortcuts overlap with windows. Still having to use the latter for my work, I would really rather not have to relearn and keep two sets in mind.

Sway is really cool. I played with it for a few days and really enjoyed it! On my main laptop though, gnome just does it for me. Sway was a ton of fun to play in but I couldn't image using it for day to day work. I could totally see how people could though.

Same, here, gnome on my main machine for sure.

Wife is on mint cinnamon on her laptop and I have a mini pc running batocera for retro gaming and watching tv/movies.

I've paired down to 3 extensions and don't miss any others honestly. I have appindicators, quick close in main menu, and alphabetical app grid. It's VERY close to vanilla. Sometimes I'll turn on blur my shell and change my wallpaper if I just want a change of scenery so to speak lol

I use Sway, and I really love it for the absolute simplicity you can make it. Yet, I do enjoy Gnome so much that I think — pretty often! — to just switch to Gnome. Some time ago, I even had a dedicated computer at our workshop office. It was a low specced machine with 4 GB ram. Gnome was good for most tasks. I have just 4 GB ram at home, and updating Gnome to latest Fedora 45 (meaning Gnome 51? Forgot the number), I’ve got an impression it became even faster! I mean, 4 GB ram, and most times I don’t notice!

Impressive work everyone, I really love Gnome. (Coming from almost a decade with macOS.)

I love Gnome too. I run it on my daily driver, while using Cosmic on my second computer and KDE on my Steam Deck.

While I enjoy trying the others and they are better (and worse) in some aspects, I wouldn’t picture myself using anything other than Gnome on my main computer.

I just wish I could rely less on the maybe 7 extensions to have it working the way I want.

It’s also great if Gnome is becoming lighter as it was apparently not the case a while ago.

Indeed

huge, I love it. Especially the GNOME OS blog entry was a good read!

Awesome week!

Let's go!

Oh shit, I was just talking about how cool this was, lovely to see you here!!

Excited to give this a try ☺️☺️

Exiciting! Does someone know if GPG and SMIME support is planned for Convey (the Geary mail client fork)?

Did they fix mutter's multi-monitor window maximize bug yet?

Nice. :)

Nothing big this release it seems, but there's a lot of nice smaller things that add up.

Looking forward to this one!

I use it a lot and it should be a default in every distribution

This is to show what your favourite Windows admin misses out when not using Linux. I love it. (:
