Hi Kevin.
Thanks for you response.
Working for Redhat, I feel I'm sort of obligated to be running one of the RH related desktops hence choosing Fedora 21 for that purpose on my work laptop. I love it.

Having said that I had been running Ubuntu 14.04 on my personal machine up until a couple of months ago and enjoyed the experience. My personal machine is a Gigabyte P24, now commandeered by my 11 year old son.
I was struck by the fact that most of the issues that manifested, did so similarly on a debian as on Fedora platform and seemed to come down to the mobile Nvidia 870M and the Nvidia Drivers but thats a whole other story.

It's great to hear about your experiences with both Kdenlive and Blender and I hope you can get the time in the future to pursue your 3D again.
Cheers.
