Yes, there are alternatives, but they just aren’t very good. However, the video editing on Linux is a bit of a joke. They are good and I still use GIMP every day. I have used these programs exclusively for my first 500 videos on YouTube. So if you aren’t a professional and just need to edit a little photo and video, here are your alternatives. Just basic alternatives that will work for beginners. Photoshop, Premiere, etc… and there really isn’t an equal in this area. Then there is the creative suite for video and photo. Adobe has an iron grip in this realm, but for basic editing and simple viewing we can use these programs: PDF is one of those things that make the business world go round. People will tell you these programs can work or “kinda” work, but it is an awful experience and if you need them, then you need Windows. Otherwise, follow the prompts and erase your computer to move to Linux. If this is your first time, I HIGHLY recommend to just boot into the Live environment to get your feet wet first and see if this is something you want to do. Then boot to the USB stick in the PC you are installing Linux on. Once you understand what you can change, this opens up many doors… The Install It has a very friendly starting point and I want to walk through its install and components as while it’s a great starting point, there are many things I do change to make it a good experience for me. Then change what you do not like to your needs.įor a beginner, I highly recommend Linux Mint. Make notes of what you LIKE and DO NOT LIKE. Just know that every single thing has alternatives. The start to your journey will begin with a distribution or a collection of all the tools that make a somewhat complete experience. It has its own set of amazing software and when it comes to hardware it has some incompatibilities when coming from Windows. I say this to temper your expectations and realize Linux is a different animal from ANY other operating system.
It also has a tendency of over promising and under delivering.
The Linux desktop community is a strange, social awkward bunch that typically likes to troll people. However, this just doesn’t tell you the full story.
Starting off in Linux is not an easy task and has the most extreme learning curve of ANY operating system because it has so many options.
However, it is not for everyone and you’ll need to learn a few things before you can understand it. So you want to use Linux? It is truly an amazing operating system and probably my favorite one to use.
