First world problem - but annoying
So... I've been looking into a different video editor: Davinci Resolve. It has a Linux version and it's free! It required a stiffer video card than the one I had (AMD 7700) so I bought a AMD RX 580 AU. It's a cut down version of the RX 580 but the performance is pretty close.
So I downloaded Resolve and followed the instructions.
And... nope, doesn't work.
Digging deeper Resolve only works with certain graphics cards and certain versions of Linux. That part *was not* mentioned on the website which is really dishonest. Picking through the forums some people have gotten it to run with Ubuntu (I'm running Ubuntu Studio) with Nvidia cards.
Deep breath. I can use the RX 580 on another build. I cruise E-Bay and got an Nvidia GTX 1060.
It arrived within a few days! And it's DOA.
Maybe the Universe is telling me to stick with Open Source software.
