The argument for dual boot is mostly for gaming, as far as compute is concerned your AMD graphics card would have been fine on Ubuntu or an RHEL/CentOS operating system. But honestly in my experience, it’s always good to dual boot just in case. There are many scenarios where it saves you headaches and precious time.
Yeah sorry, the Amd card itself works great with Ubuntu in compute tasks. The software DaVinci Resolve however is a red hat binary so you would need to be on Rhel or centOS to work with Linux.
Nope. It was the AMD card (and associated drivers) that was the issue.
You know how I know? Because I’m currently running Davinci Resolve just fine on Ubuntu, with an nvidia card.
I’m telling you, absolutely nothing I tried could get GPU compute to work for AMD. Nothing I ever did could get ROCm working on AMD (and I did a lot of things trying to get it working), but cuda on nvidia worked instantly and automatically as soon as I installed the nvidia drivers.
AMD video drivers are known to conflict with davinci resolve in Ubuntu. Thats why I said, to get it to work Natively on Linux you would need to switch to RHEL or CentOS.
Which is a perfect argument for dual boot scenarios. Which unfortunately are necessary for optimal use.
With an nvidia GPU, I’m using Davinci Resolve just fine on Linux, no need for Windows at all.

I was on Ubuntu. And it was not fine.
