> You mentioned Ardour, I'm aware of it, it comes with Ubuntu Studio afaik
it's open source (not free technically as in they would like you to pay for it but you can use it without paying too the same way grayjay does it) and you can just install it on the linux distro of your choice via package manager and should it not exist or function in the built-in package manager, you can also install it with the flatpak method. you can use ubuntu studio, it will be miles better then the proprietary trash you are currently running but technically you don't have to settle for something so noob-ish. if you feel up to it, the dude called unfa makes tutorial videos on which he installs and tweaks everything he uses for music production on more basic versions of linux. not only is this nice to learn about linux, it is learning linux to do a similar thing then you trying to accomplish so it is more tailored to your reality 💪
when you come from windows you are looking for something that contains everything but the longer you use linux, you will likely want to have something that is just tailored to exactly what you need and nothing more and nothing less. if something is missing from your installation, you just copy and paste one command in the terminal and then you have it installed seconds later.

this one i have not heard about but since it is not open source i don't bother with it. proprietary software i consider a stain because a free machine without that crap runs so nice.
> And dude nobody is watching 360p videos in 2026.
yeah very few people watch low quality that i like to make because they are spoiled consumers. not only do i not have the required hardware, i also don't have unlimited mobile internet so i could upload them when i am not at home; which would tether me to being a house-dweller. i guess you consider being watched by many people important so you are trying to maximize viewership, which is enough for me not to bother with a creator. you can't taint your art by changing it so more people like it. you have to create to the best of your ability with what you have and who cares if nobody watches, that's my approach😅
> Or rather, nobody makes them anymore. On my current laptop when I make videos they're HD or larger, doesn't demand much power to use the cutter tool, but even the processing of short morph cut transitions takes a while and it just becomes a mess
if it is really just raw editing power you are missing, would it (i guess assuming you have fast internet to enable the transfer of large files) not be possible for you to pay like a tiny monthly fee to rent time on a fast computer that can do the editing you want? yeah not ideal but i can see no reason for this not to be possible. this probably exists.
