PulseAudio is pretty stable nowadays. 6 or 7 years after it was released and made the default audio manager for most distros. I still have issues with HDMI audio not switching when plugging in HDMI, that completely disappear when I set JACK as the audio manager, and make PA it's slave. but nobody uses JACK except for the Pro Audio guys. NetworkManager had a similar trajectory: Started off buggy as hell, and eventually got to a point where you didn't think about it. Both of these apps were written by the same person, and were later fixed by a team of other people. Both of these apps have cost me linux conversions, to the point that I would have a list of supported laptops (and caveats) maintained in order to deal with the quirks I found. I heavily recommend Calculate Linux Scratch KDE[0] as a base distribution for Desktops. Try it and see if I'm wrong. Also, Silentcast[1] solves your Camtasia issue, and I'd be surprised if Kdenlive[2] didn't solve your Premiere needs. 0. http://www.calculate-linux.org/main/en/download http://www.calculate-linux.org/main/en/download 1. https://github.com/colinkeenan/silentcast https://github.com/colinkeenan/silentcast 2. https://kdenlive.org/ https://kdenlive.org/
