    I'm a BIG fan of Linux, so here's a LONG comment...😉 My brother visited the other day and he was shocked that I was running only Linux, no Windows PCs for about 2 years...not 2 weeks 😁 I use Shotcut and ComfyUI to make music videos & tutorial videos (FOSS). sudo apt install shotcut Gimp is not very good right now (IMHO), Krita is way better, it does raster and vector graphics at the same time and even AI image generation. Natron or Blender are both good for greenscreen/after-effects alternatives.(Blender is also used as a video editor too!) If you want to play windows games: Lutris (runs windows games 4% faster than Windows) if you want to make your own games: Godot (the game-engine you've been waiting for) And if you're into making your own music, Ardour is very much alive and well. You can edit and create PDF documents for free on LInux, no need for Adobe products. I make all my creative content for free (mainly because I'm poor), but also because I can. Linux! It is the way. *I don't work for any Linux distro provider, just a "consumer" Thanks Christopher for making these videos, hopefully my little Linux rant will bring more people here. Is anyone still reading this? Well done! check out my channel too! ❤&✌‍

    If you are bored, try compressing music with opus and lower the bitrate each time. Have fun and compare the results maybe with common codecs. I did that a few years ago and let's be honest - opus is very much the smart kid in school everyone ignores, but when tested in each quality segment it succeeds.

    For modern video, use either OGG Vorbis (not Opus), which is suitable for MP4 or MKV. Just forget about AC3 or AAC or M4A because it's very outdated. If you want to upload Music video to CZcams but you're afraid that CZcams might mess up the audio quality, use either PCM or WAV for audio track, and video format must be MOV. (Not MP4 or MKV). This is because CZcams server sees MOV as a video format created using Apple device, while in reality, you can create MOV using anything.

    What I hate about subscriptions including "lifetime" ones is that at anytime these companies want, they can either rescind what is included in a lifetime subscription or use crafty wording in a rambling statement to justify why you suddenly need to pay again. I get what Chris is doing in this video, but for me cheap computing is what it's all about and that doesn't include subscriptions.
