Yeah, I know. I’ve never used Krita, but I do have the paid version of Davinci Resolve.
But it can be tricky to make it work on Linux, I only use it when I need complex editing. Shotcut is simpler to use and more straight forward.
Huh… I recently needed to do a super short edit of a clip and people were recommending Kdenlive. Have you used it? To me it felt super complicated (I literally needed something like ClipChamp from Windows), but now I’m wondering if Shortcut might be the better choice.
I’d need to try it. I recently tried the “Universal Davinci Resolve Installer” script and it didn’t work. I’m currently using Maple Linux which is debian based.
Distrobox basically just runs a vm to mess around with, so the script just sets up the vm for you. Fmu, as long as distrobox works for your distro, it should just work
I’m an open-source artist. All the tools and software I have ever used to make my art are FLOSS. It’s my deeply held personal belief that the ability to create art should be as free as pencil and paper, and I want my work to be living proof of that ideal.
I’ve used Krita, Gimp, Inkscape, Blender, and other tools exclusively for over a decade. I never could afford Adobe’s shit, and I realized pretty quickly that nearly anything Photoshop can do, a bit of savvy and some extra time in Gimp and Krita can do equally well. My only complaint is that they can’t support Photoshop’s brush file formats. Which is absolutely a dealbreaker for most committed artists I know, because your brushes make or break your workflow and even your entire art style. So switching isn’t for everyone, and that’s fine.
Huh, a couple of days ago I was googling all over the place for something like this and it didn’t come up. I didn’t think my google-fu was that weak. Definitely going to try this out now.
It’s not your fault. Search engines results have objectively gotten worse compared to years ago. Shotcut was the probably the first thing I found when I searched for something like it in like 2016.
I just gave it a spin and it was everything I was looking for, this is fantastic. Funny how these things can slip through searches and then just pop out of nowhere from an unexpected discussion thread like this.
That’s good to know! I used POP_OS for many years that seems quite similar. I don’t think they has a Davinci installer, but you can have nvidia and GPU drivers preconfigured.

I tried Kdenlive, but was overwhelmed the moment I opened it. So I went back to Shotcut. Here’s what I do:
Honestly I use Krita for photo work now, too. Especially with the AI plugins for retouching.
Look into davincibox! It’s a script (?) that uses distrobox to install davinci seamlessly. It’s great and worked perfectly for me even with an amd gpu

I’ve never heard of shotcut, that looks interesting.

Same, I looked high and low for an alternative. The blender editing program is still a bit clunky.

NobaraOS has a preconfigured Davinci Resolve installer in their welcome app fwiw
