this looks like a kind of unnecessary masochism to me.
why should a linux version be much more weak and unattractive compared to mac os and widows version?
i think, users of this platform should simply ask for getting treated equal. nothing more, nothing less.
i don't think you will find any serious technical hindrances publishing a package of this software, that works on nearly any actual linux distribution. most applications with similar neads of hardware access/acceleration and video related drivers (nuke, natron, shotcut, lightworks...) the simply pack all the relevant libraries into huge software bundles to minimize their dependencies. this is not an optimal solution in consideration of advanced linux packaging systems, but it works very well in practice.
it's only this stupid hardware dongle, that doesn't allow us to search for solutions ourself and share it with other users. that's the crucial point, where we should really ask for some change: a 'lite' version for linux, like on other operating systems.
this topic was asked many times here in the blackmagic forums, but we never got an answer from official representatives. they never articulated, why they boycott ordinary linux users -- those, that do not have $30.000 on disposal, like most actual mac and linux resolved users -- in this way? i would really like to hear their point of view concerning this question, instead of just repeating always the same assumptions and suggestions.
i'm actually using resolve on a virtual windows machine using GPU passthrough in a linux environment for a lot of serious work, but i would really like to substitute this solution by an even more efficient and less complicated native linux setup.
