Hello everyone,

Currently, I’ve been using Descript for editing, but I’ve encountered some limitations:

  1. The Descript app is not available for Linux.
  2. The browser-based version has limited features.

I don’t want to switch from Linux just for this. I’m searching for an alternative that is both fully compatible and feature-rich. Ideally, the alternative should have:

  • Multi-track editing
  • Transcription services
  • Easy-to-use interface
  • Help me spend minimal time editing without hiring someone 😅

I’d love to hear your recommendations and experiences with other platforms that fulfill these criteria.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Looking forward to your suggestions!

    Wine or a KVM might be options. Blender can do everything except the transcription. There’s probably other software or a plugin that can do that.

      Thanks! I thought Blender was for making 3D animations? Didn’t realise you can use it for video editing. I can potentially use Whisper for transcriptions.

        To build off of the previous commenter. (kind of a gamer centric answer) but if you have steam installed you might try running it as a non-steam game with proton enabled in the properties.

        I find that this frequently works for a lot of windows applications that I’ve tried. (or you can try this with lutris as well)
