I've been using Windows for ages and even tried switching to Linux during quarantine, but I always went back because of gaming issues. Now, I'm looking to fully transition to Linux, but I'm stuck on two main applications. First, I can't seem to find anything that compares to Voice Meeter Potato. I love controlling my audio settings and mixing sounds while gaming, and I've invested in that software.
Secondly, I need a good replacement for Adobe Premiere Pro. I've moved on from Photoshop to using Photopea, which I prefer because it's convenient. However, I've tried various video editing software alternatives to Premiere Pro and I just can't find one that fits my needs. I found Sony Vegas to be confusing and Davinci Resolve to be problematic. I'm looking for audio and video editing software that can match up to what I'm used to. Any suggestions?

Check out some migration guides available in various communities online! For video editing, if you're looking for something less high-maintenance than Resolve, you could give Kdenlive or OpenShot a try. They're user-friendly for more casual projects. For the audio side of things, Pipewire could help replicate what Voice Meeter offers with some tweaking.
Honestly, it sounds like sticking with Windows might be the best option, at least for now. The closest alternative to Premiere Pro is definitely Davinci Resolve, but I get the feeling you’re not ready to let go of Windows just yet. It seems like you want to switch but still need those familiar tools to work with.
Exactly! Many users rely on specific tools, and finding the right substitute in Linux can be tough. It's a journey, and not every solution fits perfectly.
If you want professional capabilities, definitely look into Blender for video editing. It has a steep learning curve but packs a lot of functionality. For audio, I’m not too familiar with Voice Meeter, but you might find alternatives in Pipewire that could work for you. Just remember, switching to Linux often involves some compromises, so staying flexible is key.
I get that, but it's worth considering why people are switching. It's not all about being trendy; there's real frustration with Windows. Just be open-minded about trying a few options!
