15 years ago I bought a cheap laptop, removed windows to install Ubuntu 6, took it backpacking through Asia for the next 6 months and started editing my travel video on Kdenlive [1] at the tail end of it. It was my first real leap into Linux and Kdenlive was so far ahead of anything else I never looked back. Props to the community for such a solid product and for making me fall in love with open source.
