Windows/MacOS are great for developing native software for the respective platform. For virtually every other development scenario i can think of, Linux is imho the weapon of choice, not just web development.
- philistine 5y agoHow about editing or colour grading a commercially-released movie?
- dqv 5y agoHow many people are doing that? But as to your question, wasn’t the original high-performance version of Da Vinci Resolve only available on Linux?
- deathtrader666 5y agoOTOH, Blender and DaVinci Resolve have first class support for Linux.

- midasuni 5y agoYou’d use a specific workstation, not a general purpose counter. That workstation is probably something like a quantel rio,
- Joeboy 5y agoRio was apparently Quantel's last ever product, released seven years ago. These days I don't think there's any reason to use specialist computing hardware, although if you're high-end you'd have a bunch of specialist input devices and calibrated HDR monitors.
- midasuni 5y agoOh yea they were bought by grass valley. Been a long time since I was in that area. Nobody is grading on a laptop, they are doing it in a proper post production suite with a dedicated workstation, same with audio, and editing
- wazoox 5y agoDaVinci Resolve is historically a Unix (IRIX) program, and works best on Linux; post-houses who have dedicated Resolve workstations generally use Linux.
- Joeboy 5y ago> colour grading a commercially-released movie I'm wondering if you deliberately picked an example where the undisputed industry standard runs on Linux.
- philistine 5y agoI didn't! I had no clue. I'm even surprised Linux has good support for the colour space needed for colour grading.
