Best Linux Video Editing program (with AMD GPU support) in 2025?

As of recently I'm rocking a new build with a 7900xtx and have fully migrated to EndeavourOS from Windows. I'm now using ROCm for everything I can and it's been great so far, but I still haven't figured out how I'm going to get my video editing done.

On my old Windows computer I previously used DaVinci Resolve for video editing, but Blackmagic have cut a raw deal for Linux users. Looks like I'd have to manually download every update from the Blackmagic website (ie. make an account, give all my personal details, login every time etc), then modify the AUR package, and even after that I still wouldn't be able to work with any of my old OBS recordings due to the lack of essential codecs (they are all AAC/H256 IIRC and I don't really feel like converting hundreds of gigs of recordings).

That's a lot of hurdles I don't want to deal with - it seems to me that Blackmagic simply doesn't like Linux users, so I'm not going to fight to make their software work.

Sooo, what are my options for alternatives? Is there any video editing software for Linux with particularly good support for ROCm?

Marriott Website blocking linux users

I just wanted to raise awareness of this. I can confirm I am having this problem. Here is a video I found of someone else demonstrating the issue.

I have made a UI for Konsave

I like to fiddle with themes on my systems and i have found Konsave by Prayag2 on Github. the "problem" is that it is a CLI tool and i wanted it to have a little bit of UI to handle my themes so i wrote it myself!

If you are a Linux newcomer and you are still afraid of the terminal or if you are just lazy and don't want to open the terminal every time you have to change your theme this might be a handy tool for you, give it a look!

Peace! :)


EDIT: i have updated the README file with screenshots for anyone curious about how it looks \^\^

I'm 100% Linux now. Here is my journey.

Firstly, this will be a fairly long story, as I started out tinkering with Linux back with Mandrake and Red Hat circa 2000. Back when I had a 33.6K dial-up modem.

I had never been a PC user, or even a PS3 user, as I was in the publishing trade on Apple Macs in the 90's, and Linux was the last thing on my mind back then.

Then comes 1999 and I relocate to another state, and acquire a Pentium 233 MMX, with some horrible Riva TNT graphics.

My brother had graduated university with Comp/Sci and Maths, and was a programmer/analyst and a database firm in North Sydney. This is where I first encountered Iris running on an Indigo2 workstation. This got me interested in alternative operating systems... well at least different from MacOS and Windows.

I'm happy to write this from my new old PC with Linux Mint

This is my second attempt to migrate to Linux and it looks to be a success.

Long story short- I revived one of my old PCs with new SSD and loaded it with Linux Mint 22.1. I'm older guy and a welder mechanic so PCs and comps are much more of a mystery to me than Black Magic. Getting old PC to boot was much harder than making bootable USB and loading it into PC. Not I have to migrate stuff from old still running win10 PC to this old boy.

One issue that keeps popping up is that some keyboard keys don't work like thy should and they show other symbols. I don't get that but I will. Wish me luck :)

Who do you give donations to?

I became a Linux user a few months ago and I like the FOSS way of doing things, have them for free and donate if you like them, I want to know if you donated to a piece of software, how much and what that software was, and how do you decide who to donate to.

Windows to Go?

Is there a program I can use to create a bootable Windows installation? I've used VirtualBox before and it works ok but it lags a lot. So my only option is to create a bootable Windows installation on USB.

Thanks in advance.

And before you ask, I'm on a laptop and only have a single slot for internal storage.

I love Linux

I have a old Lenovo Ideapad with a GTX 1050 in it. It had a windows 11 but it was so slow I could barely use it. So I decided to install Zorin OS and made it look like a MacBook OS, now it just feels really great to use, and smooth.


I really wish I could use Linux as my daily drive in my main PC but I do a lot of game dev in unreal engine and many other software (Substance painter, Blender, FMOD, etc…) and when I tried getting them to run some of them on my spare PC it was a disaster. I really love Arch Linux specifically and would love to use it as my daily drive but it’s just unnecessarily hard to get some of the software I use running…

I need your advice: LFCE or LPIC-3?

I’ve been working in Linux for many years (13 years already), I’m an senior level information and cybersecurity officer always hands-on and learning as I go. I never really thought about certifications before, but now I feel it could be beneficial to have something official to show for my experience.

I’m currently considering either the LFCE (Linux Foundation Certified Engineer) or LPIC-3. Both seem solid, but I’d love to hear from others in the field especially those who’ve taken one (or both).

I also thought about RHCE but as it’s literally vendor specific certificate I think that now I should choose between LFCE or LPIC-3
