James Lee is a YouTube Animation Channel, who you might have seen around. His Art Style is quite distinct.

Today he made a Video about his Adobe Breakup, in which he shows of what he has been using as an alternative in his last Videos over the Adobe Suite. And in the end he reveals that he has been using Linux too. Which I find quite interesting as one thing Linux has struggled in is the Creative Space, primarily because of the lack of Adobe Software. And him showing of the different Applications he uses successfully that also run on Linux, proves that even this space is getting good enough for Artists to also be able to switch with enough time and effort. Which might make the Switch just that bit more Attractive and feasible for people.

Making the rise of the Fabled year of the Linux desktop just a bit closer.

He made that video on the exact weekend I finally switched to Linux (Ubuntu) on my main machine.

Windows decided to, out of the blue, not give me access to the internet (the "no internet, secured" error). It was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

The great thing is that he uses DaVinci Resolve like me, so I have hopes of making it work. Just in case, I'll learn some basic editing on Blender, and I decided to dual-boot (because I'm certain I'll need it).

Yeah, DaVinci Resolve is quite a headache, the best way I have seen people getting it running is using a RHEL-based Ditrobox, e.g. Rocky, RHEL or Alama. But my knowledge might be a bit outdated. Also, as far as I can remember is that the Free Version doesn't work on Linux at all, some Codec issues.

The Dual booting with Windows is always recommended at the Start. Especially for the Migration from Software and Workflows.

But I wish you the best of Luck in migrating over. :mrgreen:
