Might I ask why you aren't using Windows?
Because I'm an experienced IT professional that knows how bad and clunky Microsoft crap is. Linux is vastly more optimized at the foundation for optimal performance. In theory, I could run Resolve in GNU Linux installed on a thumbdrive for example. Why would I do something like that? I wouldn't at the moment, but it's possible. Maybe save all the internal sata connections for SSD/HDDs for the caching? Who cares. I can also configure it to only run the bare minimum of software required to do what I need to do. Which greatly opens up CPU and memory for other software like Resolve.
Also because I went through college as a broke butt kid with barely any money and a third degree hand me down laptop. So paying for stuff like microsoft that sucks is totally illogical.
That being said... the fact that Resolve can run on GNU Linux distros like the free CentOS greatly reduces the costs to operate when producing films.
Hell... When I get my workstation built and working. I wouldn't mind buying the GNU Linux install for Resolve AND donating a few extra bucks towards the Resolve GNU Linux efforts. Although personally, I'd prefer just to have the money I spend to purchase Resolve dedicated to either Mac OS X or GNU Linux efforts. Side note: if Resolve was written in Parallel C, I'd totally be down to help getting it to work in GNU Linux Beowulf cluster. Imagine... multiple computers combined into one giant video editing Frankenstein'd Hulk using computers you get for cheap off of craigslist.
