Making Videos on Linux - Linux Gamer
We’ve come a long way with multimedia production on the Linux desktop. Our tools have become much more powerful, and far more approachable–even in the short time I’ve been doing my show. So here’s a quick overview of how I produce my videos.
I believe that the most important thing with Internet video is audio. It seems unintuitive, but I have found this to be the case. The difference between a good video and a great one can be determined by the price of your microphone and how you use it.
The quality of hardware is equally as important as the pacing of audio editing and the post-processing. I use a program called Ocenaudio to edit my voice overs, the music in my videos, and sound effects. I use the built-in enhancement tools like the equalizer, compressor, and normalizer to process my voice and filter out any background noise.
[...]
I guess, when it comes down to making my videos, I could get by with virtually any software tool. OpenShot or PiTiVi would work much like KdenLive, though the process would be a bit more tedious. In fact, a much younger Gardiner actually won an award for a video he edited using the XP version of Windows Movie Maker. (He was 14 and didn’t know any better.) But I choose to use KdenLive because of its powerful toolset and the virtually limitless number of video and audio tracks.

Spotify bug is slowly killing hard drives with data vomit
SPOTIFY USERS are up in arms after a long-standing bug came to light which is causing gigabytes of 'junk' data to be written to users’ hard drives.
The bug, which is said to affect Mac and Linux as well as Windows, is of particular concern because constant writes to a drive will inevitably shorten its life.
And to be clear, the problem is made worse if you’re on a newfangled solid state drive as they have a finite number of writes before each sector gives up.
