DaVinci Resolve on Bazzite
Ever since my first install of Ubuntu in 2010, I've wanted to be able to make linux my home for art and creativity. In 2026 that reality is closer than ever before.
Read moreMaking the switch from macOS to Bazzite Linux wasn't something I did lightly. After years of Final Cut Pro and the Apple ecosystem, I was skeptical that a Linux-based workflow could match what I'd built. I was wrong in the best possible way.
DaVinci Resolve on Bazzite runs with remarkable stability. The GPU passthrough with my NVIDIA card was simpler than I expected, and the color science — the reason I use Resolve in the first place — is identical. No compromises there.
The broader win is ownership. I'm no longer paying subscription fees for tools that could change terms or sunset features. My editing environment is mine. I understand how it works, I can reproduce it, and I can audit it. For a working filmmaker who builds tools for the long term, that's not a minor thing — it's the whole point.
