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.

Sadly even Resolve Studio doesn't support h264 all-intra as used in Sony's XAVC-I and XAVC-S-I on Linux, which sucks.
With XAVC-I CineEI Slog footage the metadata is enough that Resolve treats it as Raw (in fact, it's more flexible than braw). So losing this functionality really hurts.
Ouch, that does hurt. Sorry, dude!
You could use gpu passthrough with iommu and qemu to a virtual system and run Win. A real PITA. I know.
I'd bitch about that on the blackmagic Resolve forum. That's a serious hit to your workflow. Call out Dwaine, he works there and does Linux support. Nice guy.
I still hope it's just a driver or configuration issue, for now I just dual boot for resolve, but that's obviously not a long term solution.
I mean, I dunno about you but for me this is money. I make money with these tools. I prefer Linux for privacy reasons, but I'm not religious about it when it comes to money. We all gotta eat.
The Blackmagic folks might help. Especially if you paid for Studio. I don't work there and can't make promises, but I'd definitely make a stink about that. At least get a formal statement from them on Sony support in Linux.
My in-house is an old GH5s w/ a Shogun. But if the client pays, I prefer to rent an URSA mini. So I haven't hit this.
Really wish I could help more.
