I like the new #kdenlive 21.04! I just finished the edit of a new video tutorial with it (about 'shading', I'll post it later today) and the new auto-generated subtitle feature with speech recognition saves me 2h of work! (and surprisingly this one recognise my heavy French accent with a high percentage of success). Such a typing burden I did weekly to do less... Thanks again devs! And new keyframe actions are also lovely to use. 💜

The becomes so much nicer to use after opening a terminal and "sudo apt install firefox-esr". Nice to have smooth scrolling, ability to long press links to open in new tab, Privacy Badger, and uBlock Origin to make web browsing comfortable again.

Hope it gets improved and vetted enough to be put in the PureOS Store soon.

Also looking forward to the looming upgrade from Amber to Byzantium to get the convergence improvements.
