  • I’m not running Resolve on a supported distro so I’m already taking matters into my own hands, but installing it on anything newer than Rocky Linux 8 is just asking for weird stuff to happen.

    For the record the solution to that one is to launch by running this:

    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so:/usr/lib64/libgio-2.0.so:/usr/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so /opt/resolve/bin/resolve

    Make no mistake, none of this denotes a negative experience. I wouldn’t use it if I hated it, and I sure as shit ain’t going back to any other OS.


  • Need to launch DaVinci Resolve Studio from the CLI to figure out why it won’t launch from the GUI, and then launch it again with a list of libraries to exclude in order to get it working.

    Really weird errors if you try to use a USB stick formatted with FAT after applying a kernel update but before rebooting.

    Multiple password prompts when attempting to update Flatpak applications over ssh in its default configuration.

    Basic applications included with commercial operating systems often missing (e.g. paint application missing from Pop!_OS).

    Good luck figuring out emergency mode if you don’t know what fstab is. And changing kernel parameters on Rocky 9 must be handled via grubby, not by editing configs like in Debian, Arch, or Pop.

    Can’t emulate SSD on VM qcow2 files on Debian unless you use the version in backports; can emulate SSD but can’t use anything involving spice in RHEL9+clones unless you add a copr repo because it’s been removed. This makes desktop virtualization annoying.

    Can’t participate in Microsoft Teams calls if the input and output audio devices are the same device or the call disconnects/reconnects every few seconds. Microphone and speaker must be separate devices for optimal experience.

    Can’t use OBS Virtual Camera in Teams on Firefox.

    That’s the stuff I’ve dealt with in the past 3 weeks.
