I don’t really care about this, but I do use it occasionally to cut apart videos.
Quite straightforward to use for simple video editing and appending. It took me almost no time to learn.
Good for transcoding and merging audio into video.
I use avidemux_gtk

Linux distributions + Slackware >
A Puppy Linux for- thing, built using woof-CE. Built from Slackware.
Overall, I’m not impressed.
Since Puppy Linux uses systemd, I might presume this does too. However, Slacko is built from Slackware using Puppy’s build system.
