Lulz, try running Affinity or DaVinci

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

DaVinci works perfectly fine with the native version.

Affinity works fine with wine as long as you can follow basic instruction, or can use the one-click launcher people made and maintain. (and I do mean one click, it's an AppImage, download and run it).

"Perfectly" is very optimistic about Davinci. It's often a hit or miss of people trying to install it, and when it works codecs are missing and there are some graphical & usability issues

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

If you can't get it to work with just the provided installer, you can look into this : https://github.com/zelikos/davincibox

It works perfectly fine. The "missing codec" issues usually boils down to some commonly used codecs not being supported in the free version.
