Dude, you’re amazing. This is super helpful! Thank you!

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

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!

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.

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
