From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Davinci Resolve is known to be extremely picky about hardware and software. It officially only supports CentOS ~~which doesnt even exist anymore lol.~~ (not entirely correct)

So putting it into a container with set and unchanging dependencies ensures it can run everywhere (if it works).

Also, running such a proprietary piece of software should be done isolated from the rest, and Flatpak has awesome permission management in KDE or using Flatseal.

It is supported on Rocky Linux.

Anyway, I assume this doesn't make things any easier to get it to run on an AMD GPU, is that correct?

It's funny that the supported distros for a video editor are all server focused ones.

RHEL is used and is meant to be used both for servers and professional workstations. I imagine clones like Rocky are much the same.

render farms are a thing for big studios

I have no idea as all video editors are too complicated for me and I didnt ever find the time to learn them... even though I should. And then I will use KDENlive

CentOS changed focus but definitively still exists: https://www.centos.org/

CentOS is where AlmaLinux gets its package sources from: https://wiki.almalinux.org/FAQ.html#where-does-almalinux-get-package-sources-how-almalinux-is-built
