lol Blackmagic's response to DaVinci Resolve failing to properly detect Mesa is "install an actual AMD driver" 💀
Cause surely the "actual AMD driver" which is inferior from every point of view must be better because it's proprietary right?
Sometimes it feels like this shit is just a circus specifically to make people think proprietary software is superior so tech billionaires can keep getting richer 🙃

@hazelnot if literally every other video editor on Linux can do it, there's not really a good excuse. I'm aware of the bad excuse. It sucks. Good luck setting up Hollywood Linux!
@thufie fair, my issue is that none of the other video editors available on Linux can do motion graphics or colour correction nearly as well as DVR can, so I kinda have to use it or install Windows and use After Effects and stuff 😔
@hazelnot Does DaVinci have a minimum requirements page, or an officially supported Distro of any kind?
@hazelnot oh wait. Rocky Linux, that's their target?? seriously??? Why?
Well maybe you can setup distrobox with a rocky linux container image just for DaVinci. What a pain.
@thufie huh, I've never actually tried Distrobox
@thufie but also it's Rocky Linux cause that's what the Hollywood workstations use 💀
@thufie yeah, the MP4 stuff is apparently some weird licensing issue
But DaVinci started out as Linux-based complete workstations and it's still primarily intended for professional cinema work, so the Linux support isn't really a lie, it's just that it's still intended for kinda specific configurations used in the movie industry and as far as I'm aware it's still heavily using Linux-based editing workstations
But yeah it sucks for anything that isn't something the movie industry actively heavily uses
