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.

I'm putting my tin foil hat on and want to join the world of Linux, however I make music in Ableton. Do I just need to dual boot or does anyone have a better solution? (lemmy.world)

Resolve doesn't do what Ableton does. It's more of an audio processor and editor (like Audacity), but not a real DAW for music.

Yes, but you said you were using Resolve for color grading. My understanding is you should still be able to use that on Linux, but I haven’t tried it yet myself.

It's not working properly. No AAC support either. I also used to use the Dehancer plugin for it which unfortunately has bugs under Linux.
