Blender is a damn good video editor.

Nigger do I need to fucking keep going? Obviously you've never worked before, because you'd see how many applications are NOT able to "be achieved by Free Software"

Well there's Flight Gear. It's not great but it's something.

Did I somehow travel in time back to 2006?

Or, you can PAY and get something great. Wow.

That's not the point here. You want to fly planes on your computer? You can do that using only free software.

Kdenlive is apparently pretty damn good these days. I recall some Linux shows switching to it within the last year or so. It's not a crashy unstable fuck like Pitivi.

>>what are flight sims
There is ACM, it's even listed on the GNU site. Granted it is pretty outdated (pretty sure it uses Motif and K&R syntax), only supports 3 plane types and has overly simple graphics and flight algorithms, but all the "heavy lifting" is basically already there, all that's really needed is to add new features to the individual modules.

>Nigger do I need to fucking keep going? Obviously you've never worked before, because you'd see how many applications are NOT able to "be achieved by Free Software"
99% of productivity needs basically just require an office suite and graphics program, which are already there. Those other things don't exist yet because there isn't sufficient demand to make them a priority. Same reason why Microsoft dropped support for legacy software.

We aren't talking about my computer.

These are applications I have to install regularly doing IT for defence.

You can pay for free software too. Free software just means that legally obtaining the software grants you the right to view the software's source code in a human-readable form, and to modify to suit your needs. This is also why proprietary commercial software is more costly than the pricetag indicates. Maybe a proprietary software package costs only $5.99. That's not much, almost anyone can spare that much. Yet, you are not only giving up the value of $5.99 in purchasing the software, but also, in comparison to free software, you are also giving up the right to modify and examine the software.

You really think the Department of Defense is using proprietary flight sims? Do you realize how idiotic that is?

>>59929417
I don't think they are; I know they are.

Their current battle sim manager is an arma2 spin off.

Openshot and Kdenlive are both perfectly viable video editors and they are both FOSS

Are you also trained in gorilla warfare?
