Honestly I only use free software when it comes to editing my videos. On Linux I use Kdenlive, but if I'm using Windows I use DaVinci Resolve. I also use GIMP to make thumbnails as well as banner images for my websites. I've tried Adobe Premiere before but I didn't care for it so I canceled my Adobe subscription and went back to using DaVinci Resolve.

I am a Switch fan, and mostly because of its exclusive titles. Mario Kart or Zelda are iconic in gaming. Also, it is small, easily movable and convenient to use. Occasionally I play mobile games but Switch is the favorite of mine.

I really love open-source programs and I have used GIMP and DaVinci Resolve. They are highly functional and the good thing is that they are not so expensive. Nevertheless, paid options may be preferable in case of professional requirements.

I believe that GIMP and DaVinci Resolve are open-source software for creators on a budget but paid software like Adobe Creative Cloud might have better functionality and additional support for professional creators.

I will use opewnsource as long as I find it useful, I will switch to premium only when I am restricted by the open source. I have been using wordpress for many years and have no desire to switch to any premium software. However, after using SMF for 4 years, I switched to Xenforo
