That was an intense intro, so I had to stop watching. Did he end up enjoying it and sticking with it?

    I think he did, but I'm not sure if he called that out explicitly. Basically the recommendation is: yeah, try it, but also, all the power it gives you can make you go off the deep end. Don't fall for the trap of trying to build your own editing software.

    Meanwhile, I read stories from other users here on the Fediverse who had grandparents who got fed up with Windows and installed Aurora; they just figured things out as they went and stuck with it.

    So like you say, don't go too crazy right out of the gate. Get used to the new system, and learn a new way of doing things.

    Yes but audio drivers still seem to be a common issue for everyone. That should really just be working out of the box by now it's insane.

    His biggest issue was Premiere Pro not working on Linux, and Davinci Resolve not supporting the AAC Audio codec which VLC recorded in which he then wasted a ton of time on to get it to work and eventually tried to vibe-code his own video editor which didn't really work out so then he purchased Davinci Resolve premium to get AAC support.

    Holy hell, why would he do that? Just "for the content"?
