Re: [PiTiVi] Pitivi and Gnome 3?

Thanks Neil,

OK, how about "advertises on the front page". I'm OK with brags because 
I think they have a right to brag.

Regarding Fedora, I'm not really looking for which distribution does 
gnome 3 best. I'm asking which distribution is likely to have the least 
problems with Pitivi, as it is an important application for me. In other 
words, is there a most-used and therefore most-tested distribution for 
Pitivi users?

I am going to try and fix my LMDE installation when I have more time 
but, if I end up needing to reinstall, I may install something else. One 
respondent said Pitivi is working on LMDE with Mate. Has anyone used it 
with Cinnamon?

I should also note that my LMDE breakage is not that big of a deal as it 
is my new computer that I hadn't put anything important on, yet. I 
tested Pitivi on it before the update and went, "Great! I can't quite 
preview full 1080p with transitions but if I switch my camera to 
anamorphic 1080p I can." The next day the update pack was released and I 
was hoping that the kernel update would fix a few new-processor-related 
issues. In hindsight...

Hi and sorry for the late reply (I only check the mailing list once in a
while),

It used to be that pretty much everybody was on Ubuntu. What I can tell
you now is that most developers who care at least remotely about GNOME
have switched to Fedora during the last 12 months. This includes a
significant portion (but not all) of pitivi contributors.

In the end, Ubuntu (+multiverse) and Fedora (+rpmfusion) are very much
alike in terms of packaging. Pitivi developers will continue to maintain
the PPA packages for Ubuntu, because Ubuntu does not provide anything
but security updates after the release (unlike Fedora which provides
continuous updates to Pitivi and are typically friendly to upstream).

Haven't tried Cinnamon/Mate/the DE du jour. I personally run gnome-shell
(you may be surprised at how many people do). That being said, the
desktop environment you run shouldn't make any difference to Pitivi. If
