These are the two things that stop widespread adoption of Linux. If ODF were the standard format that would be great. If Google had kept updating their photo app and had a Drive app for linux, that would be great. These are the big home user needs not filled adequately by linux. (IMHO. correction welcome!)


Digikam does a nice job in this household.   And I just had a need to build a video DVD for a friend out of 5 large drone videos...    Took me a minute to google for a program (Bombono) and probably 10 minutes spent learning it.   Made a nice DVD including a menu to navigate.

I don't think you can beat that in  the Windows world.
