Shotcut Replaces OpenShot

Yes, Shotcut now replaces OpenShot as the default video editor on Linux Lite 6.2.

OpenShot gets the place because it didn't work well with Ubuntu 22.04, and without a utility like this, users would have to look for one on their own.

Shotcut is undoubtedly a good video editor. So, it should be a good option.

Microsoft Teams Removed

Another significant change is that Microsoft Teams is no longer included in the distro.

The reason for that is the discontinuation of the Linux application by Microsoft in favor of a progressive web app version.
