From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

From my reading it seems that Resolve runs fine on Linux with the exception of some codecs not being available.

My biggest concern is with playing footage inside of Resovle (I think the codec issue might affect this as well). My Sony A7IV records footage at 4k h264 (10 bit 4:2:2), the free version in Windows doesn’t playback this footage at all. MacOS doesn’t have this issue at all.

I’m assuming I’ll need to transcode my footage with ffmpeg on Linux the same as I do on Windows. Is that correct?
