> 5. Technically I've tried video editing with OpenShot, but do find myself back at Final Cut Pro X on my now 6 year old Macbook Pro for that for now

I wish that there was a better video editing alternative for a non-mac... Openshot and the others I tried crash too much (Openshot crashed for me today while trying to do simple trim)

The only one that I could always make work is Kdenlive. That said I never tried DaVinci Resolve as it's a bit beyond my use-cases, but I've heard good things about it.

Have you tried Davinci Resolve? It is one of the top 3 video editing suites, and it actually even runs on Linux native! It is even supported on redhat (but works on others too). Very stable as well (unlike Adobe's jokes).

I agree with you regarding crashes. Kdenlive has been much more stable for me but I don't really like it. Can't say exactly why but it just feels clunky.

I've not had an issue with openshot personally, though I haven't had to much more than trimming.

I use arch linux, so whatever the latest version released on that.

The new 2.5.1 version on OpenShot is a big stability improvement over 2.4 (which is the current repo version)

2.5.1 is the version of openshot-qt that I was using
