This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

How good is DaVinci Resolve on Linux? I have been wanting to switch for a long time now, but I read online that DaVinci doesn’t work that well on Linux, so has it gotten better?
It works best with NVIDIA drivers and with the least workarounds in RHEL type distros (officially it supports Rocky Linux).
Decoding and encoding is really limited, especially in the free version. There's details about codec support in their website.
If you pay for it, and you're already used to distros like Fedora, Rocky, RHEL it pretty much works out of the box. Only Fedora requites some tinkering. There's also tools and workarounds for distros like Arch AFAIK.
On the paid version there should be no problem with codec.
Yes, but there are limitations depending on hardware. Intel and AND don't get the best encoding and decoding performance.
