You can choose either "Simple View" or "Advanced View" from the View > Views menu to restore the interface to a standard layout. You can also right-click over the tool-bar (right to the Big Red Button of export) or over the main menu and choose the dock pane you wish to show/hide from the list. https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/issues/3503
You can find a table with theoretically supported hardware decoders here. here However it may vary on a system by system basis. In general Linux has better support then Windows. Hardware acceleration is not available in sandboxed versions like app-image and Windows Store editions. For more information , see also the discussion under the issues https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/issues/2877
OpenShot does not directly support a client/server setup. You can edit your project locally and then move your project to a different machine for rendering. It could theoretically be done if you improve the program. https://github.com/OpenShot/openshot-qt/issues/3102

Before 2.44, you need below 2.8 After OpenShot 2.5, you need 2.8 or above required

Correct, only Bfont is currently supported. It is a bug that other fonts are offered in the interface issue3269
This is a combination of a limit of OpenShot to only support B-Font, and the limit in Blender/ that requires a different font that supports Asian letters, because B-font does not.
The Title editor uses SVG-based fonts. If they are not available, fonts may not be rendered, and titles can 'disappear'. The templates use the Ubuntu and Bitstream Vera Sans Fonts. It is recommended to install them if they are not available on your system.
While OpenShot allows you to choose a different font, not all fonts support SVG rendering. PostScript Type 1 format is generally not supported. Please do a test before you create many titles in a custom font.

Yes, Openshot uses SVG for its title files. They are text-based XML files and allow such operations. However, be very careful not to change any of the markup code, or it will break the file. For translating many titles, you can use programs like OmegaT
While Inkscape allows for more complex text creation, be advised that the SVG implementation is limited. Not all features by Inkscape are supported, and may break the resulting SVG from being recognized by Openshot. You can always export them to PNG or other image formats to be included. The limitation on font types applies here as well, they need to be availeble to the system and support SVG rendering. For this reason, SVG's created by other programs may trow up issues too.
One 'advanced' feature of Inkscape is the support for flowing text. This never made it into the official SVG standard, and is not supported by Openshot. It will break the connection. It is a known issue for Inkscape, and they are working on fixing it. You can use the "text>unflow text" or "text>convert to text" in the Inkscape menu.

On the Openshot Home page, click on Download and scroll down. Under "Looking for a different download?", click on Daily build. Despite the name, they are not created daily, but automatically when changes are merged. Before you report an issue with a daily, please make sure that the issue is not occurring in the regular version, and try the second-last version to see when the problem first appeared.
When using daily version, it is recommended to disable the auto-save to prevent program faults that break your project from automatically overwriting your working version.
Hardware accelleration is not supported, and connections with Blender and Openshot will not work. issue3036

"On ubuntu 20 and OpenShot version 2.4.3 and blender 2.78 I discovered that an absolute path doesn't work - openshot always seems to append the path to blender to your home directory. So, only relative paths (starting from your home directory) are working."
NB: We are unsure how OpenShot made it into the Microsoft Store, it was probably done by a third party. You need regular Blender and OpenShot to use them together. Third party Store software is running in sandbox. The location points to a virtual environment that probably isn't even accessible until Inkscape is launched and it gets mounted from whatever archive/container format the application is distributed in.
Sometimes, the exe (especially the daily) won't start the program. It may be blocked by Windows Defender. Try running a Virus scan on the program directory, and run the program again. More complex reasons why it may not start cab be found here: Windows Launch Issues (cx_Freeze errors)
Probably not. Feel free to give it a try, let us know if things do work. But we're not responsible if the error log gives you nightmares. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directx-heart-linux/
