In regards to testing with different distro and dm, I guess we will need a procedure to rule out those two bring a problem with said software?

Iām fairly certain itās either a MLT issue or kdenlive. Itās not a graphical crash, itās a crash from processing. Gnome has no business in the processing threads, so it shouldnāt be there.
Maybe save the issues to the bug-hunt thread guys

FYI, thats not how you fix bugs.

No offense brah, but the only thing Iāll do on XFCE, is pretend to be 90 years old.
I get KDenLive crashes on Gnome and KDE, across Debian and Fedora.

Itās not a terrible strategy when it comes to gnomeā¦
Part of the reason Iām interested in this community effort is my prior observation that linux generally has plateaued and has begun to bloat and destabilize int he last 5 or so years. Itās one thing to give up frills for unquestioned stability, it another to trade one set of crashes for another. Iāve been using linux for as long as it has existed. It used to always get better until nowā¦
I just put the idea out there I was really hoping the community would take it up and continue. Edit anything you want. Especially my grammar

Sounds good. 
From the current results of the voter poll, it looks like we can knock out 3 things at once. install Solus with Kden live and work on Vulkan simultaneously. >(-_-)>

I am not sure how many people actually volunteered to take part with the testing but I was thinking that we could break up into 3 teams working on different projects within that space and have the most experienced guys leading those projects handing out assignments.

Do you guys want to establish a best practices sort of thing, while weāre at it?
Maybe we can talk about some git basics, too. Like why you should fork the repo versus just clone it

Yeah defo gonna need a howto basics guide, but we could demo this first run with a feather up in our asses letting the wind blow, and afterwards go through the problem parts.
Maybe for starters having someone as āleadā (not perhaps the right term for things like this)
could give some higher ground tho.

Git Basics
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2
The game will get you up to speed, quick. Might have to play it a few times.
Chapters 1 through 3 of that book will get you comfortable with 90% of the platform. The rest of it is good, too.

I think someone ( wink wink @anon79053375 and @SgtAwesomesauce ) should make a guides about how to report a bug and how to contribute with different means than code, like translation, design etc.
Work in 3 levels maybe, itās a tried and true method.
-Entry
-Familiar
-Wizard
EDIT: The thought behind this is (Iām super bad at explaining), following a simple structure is easy maintain, people can focus more when they stay in 1 tier, and people in the tier above can provide knowledge to those in the tier below.
All of you whoās been in the military are prolly familiar with this mentality when you train other people, but instead of knowledge, these splits are more of a āwhat can I contribute toā thingā¦

My 2 cents coming from the āother sideā (newb with no experience and full of github fail) is for the contributors of this thread to keep in the level1techās spirit- document and explain to mere mortals how you go about what you did- even things as simple as ātype xyz - debug > file, then I tailed the log file from xyz path and dissected the log looking for a,b and cā-- much like LiveOverflowās youtube channel (of course not so visual, just some explaining). Iād love to follow as a non-capable of contributing person, but wanting to learn how by contributors posting how they do it. For instance a good example, @anon79053375 's Git Basics post.

Aw shucks, thanks guys. Give me until later today or tomorrow to have something ready.
Iāll make a public repo on my Git and do a walkthrough of forking, commits, pull requests, and merges maybe? Would you guys be interested in something like that? I can do an older school project or something that Iām not emotionally attached to that we can either make better or play with.
@Eden @SgtAwesomesauce @blackfire
You guys think something like the above would be best demonstrated here or a separate post? I guess if I post it here yous guys can always move it?
