It is not trivial at all. The best way to handle this will be to find
the
required packages in Fedora and rebuild them.
So what's the easy way?
Switch to Ubuntu or something? 8-O
Maybe Fedora, maybe Ubuntu? It's more time-consuming than hard to build a virtual machine these days, and it's not even that time-consuming. Is
there
a distro that already has what you want all packaged up? Run it in a VM. Take a snapshot first if you want to try something potentially system- breaking or that's going to spew files everywhere. On a single-user
machine,
the performance should be within a few percent of running on the bare metal. So, if you test drive some beta software and it doesn't perform
well
on a VM, it's probably not going to be much better running on a same-spec physical machine.
NB: I administer several hundred virtual desktops, so I chugged rather
than
sipped the virtualization Kool-Aid. :-)
Performance was just what I had in mind. Editing video is rather hard on both cpu, ram and hd-access.
Maybe I should give Openshot a try in a VM. Nothing like real hard facts. 8-)
Thanks for the feedback Chris!
