From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've used resolve for quite a few things in the past. It's an excellent editor, way more than most people will need/use in the free version, and exceeds most corporate editing requirements in the paid version.
Blackmagic Design bought it to have a video editing suite they could tie to their hardware, which I would call similar in design approach. It's inexpensive for what it does, works really well, but isn't the top of the line for broadcast.
Most corporate broadcast (think like a bank or something having its own small recording studio, rather than the major broadcasting companies) will leverage BMD at some point in their workflow.
Cool. Yea I saw all of the hardware they're pushing and that's what made me wonder what's going on there. I use professional grade software for work but I'd like to have more professional features for home too without the high cost of entry.
BMD bought Resolve maybe 15 years ago now, but the support is not limited to BMD hardware. It was more of a way for them to ensure BMD hardware support in a video editor at the time. Personally I have their web presenter and an older model of their TV studio kit at home (long story), but I also have a variety of other hardware, all of which works just fine with Resolve.
I'm using Resolve on the regular for my VHS conversions, though some tasks would be easier with the premium instead of the free version, I just fill in with ffmpeg or other tools and move on.
Just FYI, the download will ask for an email/name/etc, but the download starts right away, so you don't need to actually give any PII out to get it.
