  • It depends on the tasks you are planning to do.

    Here is a list with a bunch https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications/Multimedia#Video_editors I tested most of them. While they all work fine, I had better experience with the flatpak versions when available.

    If you just want to do some quick cutting, trimming or merging - LosslessCut https://mifi.no/losslesscut/

    I use ffmpeg from terminal for quick stuff that I do often. Like resizing a video, cutting, getting an image from a frame.

    Lightworks and DaVinci resolve are industry standard, but require a license to use most of it. The problem with their free version is the limitation of input and output formats. Ideal if you are making movies/going professional. I prefer DaVinci Resolve, keep an eye for hardware sale, sometimes it comes with a license bundled - Speed Editor being the cheapest.

    Kdenlive is well-rounded, from the open source is the most robust, and with most maintainers. I use it mostly for gameplay and to add voice over to videos.

    For recording voice over and sound FX, there is nothing better than Ardour https://ardour.org/

    Natron is great for Visual FX, you can also use Blender for pretty much everything.



  • It depends on how it is implemented. There are many examples out there. wikipedia list of electoral systems by country

    A pure proportional voting would have no ridding/districts, I think this is more common for municipal and provincial level elections.

    If the countries are divided into independent-ish states or provinces, they can divide the population by the number of available seats - that means a province with 10% of the population, ideally would have close to 10% of the seats.

    I am not a big fan of breaking down provinces further because the more you divide into smaller districts, more votes are thrown away, and you open it up for gerrymandering.

    Canada seems to do a good job dividing seats per province, the problem is that the provinces break it down into districts and use first past the post voting to elect officials.
