i’m trying to move from windows but i require a strong video editor, like premiere, and the only one i hear easily works is Da Vinci. Luckily i’m pretty familiar with da vinci, but the only “officially supported” distro for Da Vinci is Rocky Linux. Anyone ever used it? I have very very very minimal amounts of exposure to linux in the past.
I really like Davinci but it’s a pain to install on linux and there is limited codec support, even on the paid version. I use DJI cameras which record audio in AAC, which is just not supported. I could convert everything but that’s a lot of work.
I’ve been using Kdenlive and gotten used to it. Kden’s pretty good and you can run a local LLM for transcription, but Davinci is so smooth and fast once you get used to it
lol thats what i meant. long day yesterday. IIRC, even da vinci requires a plugin for braw, but i have no idea if that plugin is supported on the linux version of da vinci. gonna do some research today because i’m sick of windows and its bullshit
Most of these install the free version, so you should know that it is limited on what codecs you can use. You might have to transcode the files to DNxHR or something to be able to work with them.
I’ve used DaVinci on Ubuntu just fine. It was a few years ago, but i wouldn’t select a distro based on their recommendation. I unbearably you might have a different approach if that’s your primary use case, though

I shoot almost entirely on black magic cameras, heavily using BRAW, so I assumed linux would have braw support but probably fuckin not
Worth checking. Because you’d also think Blackmagic software would support Blackmagic hardware but things are never so simple

bazzite has an install script for it, or you can install rocky linux in a distrobox, or use https://github.com/zelikos/davincibox. You can use https://linux.toys/
