I'm sorry, I just despise both windows and even linux users glazing over Davinci as like the only video editing software people only use.
I tried davinci because some proprietary software shilling faggot in this tread was talking about it like it was the only video editor that's even usable on linux.
my experience with it? it wouldn't even run. It would open... for like 4 or 5 seconds. Then it would crash. I didn't find any useful information about why it was crashing. It just did. I never got to try editing with it because it didn't fucking work on my system at all.
meanwhile, kdenlive didn't do that. And also it's more than I need, and if someone is doing the kind of simple editing I do. I can pretty much guarantee kdenlive is overkill. It doesn more than enough to get them through whatever they are doing.
My friend asked me how to download code from GitHub because there was no release page to download binaries from.
FYI, the code download button is a massive, overly green button that you cannot miss. He’s also not massively retarded.
Non-programmers (in this anecdotal case being subhuman twitter users) are literally, always constantly complaining that "GITHUB SUCKS, WHERE'S THE FARKING DOWNLOAD BUTTON I JUST WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE 'APP'?" to the tune of several thousands of likes every other month. They are not being talked down to, they are being talked to precisely at their level (or above it, really). Zoomers are not capable of navigating any site with a design paradigm older than 2014. This is not hyperbole, its not hate bandwagoning, they are genuinely not capable of doing it as a collective.
What average users expect is an immediate shiny red download button that gives you a nice binary executable with an install wizard that does everything for you. Anything else is sacrosanc
The thing both of these are missing, is reporting issues on github is not the same thing as having a normy git clone a repo, and build it.
When you report an issue on github, there is in fact a botton that just says "issues", and it's right at the top of the page where it's easy to find. You can see how it works by clicking around on it and seeing what other people have done etc. You don't need to have any knowledge of git's existence even. You can be someone that only uses software installed through a gui flatpak installer and figure out after making it to a projects github page where to go to report an issues, and still work out you click the issues button to say you have an issue.
So I do think they were right when he said that video was condescending. And people not understand you need to git clone the repo's link, or download a release tarball, isn't unexpected for normies, but it's a completely different situation compared to reporting problems.
After thinking about it I actually think it's a good idea for github to not make it any easier than it already is to download and use things from it. It is already simple and easy for people that should be using github, I think having something that stops complete retards from wasting their time, and not moving to some other method of installing a program, or moving to a completely different program that doesn't require them to clone, build, and install the program from source is the better option for them. It's not made as a platform for normies to install software from. It's a source hosting site, and if someone knows what that means, they can easily use it for installing software.
