If you ever give it a go again, I'd suggest trying to get used to software that you'd need to use on Linux (aka, alternatives that won't work well outside of windows). I already used a lot of free openscource software that works on Linux like libre office, krita, kdenlive, obs, when i used windows. That made swapping a lot more comfortable. Next I really recomend something like Linux mint, or popos (look up screenshots and decide witch one looks cooler) then, if you are enjoying it after a few months, give arch or nixos a try, or don't if the distro you use does what you want, and you found ways to make it work for you, then stick with it. I hope the next time you give it a try works out better for you.

Da Vinci Resolve has native Linux builds though and should work. And does on Ubuntu based, Rocky Linux, arch and NixOS. I'm not sure about Nobora (Fedora based).

Though it's hard to know what went wrong with vague descriptions like "everything was crashing"..
