Adobe is betting everyone will be too lazy to learn a new tool. And they’re mostly right.

Sad but true. A quick look upon Twitter shows they even among professionals, people are constantly complaining about this piece of garbage crashing all the time. They know way more about video editing and building computers than I do and they complain about this crashing all the time.
The cool thing about DaVinci Resolve is not just the fact that it is the only video editor on Linux that has audio plugins that are not garbage, even though it does not allow me to import my own LV2 or LADSPA plugins. The cool thing is that it is never crashed on me in four years of use. It has never, not once, crashed on me in four years of use. Linux or Windows. Sony Vegas crashes every time you look at it. Adobe Premiere seems to crash all the time for the people that use it to edit video. Da Vinci Resolve is just beautiful.
I would actually sponsor them or have them as a sponsor in all of my videos if I Had a “brand safe” channel that actually got offered sponsorships to things. but I will sing their praises for free here.
Making a video editor that doesn’t crash is one thing. Making it intuitive with good built-in plugins is another. But having something that actually fucking works on Linux and supporting it is amazing. Lots of people bitch that they only support rocky Linux. I do not give a fuck. What distribution of Linux does Sony vegas support? What version of Linux does Adobe premiere support? Exactly.
Da Vinci Resolve works on Windows, Mac OS, Slackware Linux, DB and Linux, Ubuntu Linux, Arch Linux. It’s just beautiful. The Arch wiki even as a guide on how you can make a work with Intel graphics which works normally on Windows and Mac, but does not work on Linux because of some nonsensical reason. That’s why I had to switch from my framework laptop back to my ThinkPad. I added choice between using my framework with Windows because it only had Intel graphics from my ThinkPad from 2017 with Linux because that ThinkPad has Nvidia graphics. But now I can use the venture resolve on Linux with my Intel graphics and it works great, not a single crash ever.
