Have you tried KdenLive ? I am learning Davinci and learned about Kdenlive froma com below. Wantzd to know your opinion

I just started months ago, but I have a yunohost server ona raspberry with nextcloud and forgejo on it :)

Could say the same on lemmy, a decentralized social network. But i guess a decentralized protocol for instant messaging is a no no for you

Just use a XMPP client, instead of signal

I think it s easier. Get a problem you want to solve > press buttons as best a syou can > get something working > congrats.

Then by doing you will learn how to get better.
