Ah, right.
I almost forgot that important small detail.
Thanks for reminding me of that.

Some Vulkan and AMDGPU are open source
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU

Radeon drivers are proprietary:
Proprietary AMDGPU-PRO drivers. WARNING At the time of writing, the proprietary drivers haven't been released for Ubuntu 20.04 yet.

Interestingly, AMD donates to Solus; yet provides poor Linux support. It is a long-standing point of contention.

oh yeah, that's normal, Adobe also donates to Linux projects I think, and yet they give... well, 0 support, I think it's just that they probably use it on the server side or something like that

Or that gives them a good corporate image.

Hey sorry it took so long for me to try it, I've been pretty busy lately, so, Itried installing the AMDGPU-PRO drivers and I got this error:

Unsupported DEB-based OS: /etc/os-release ID 'zorin'

I tried installing with the following command:

./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=rocr,legacy

AMD reused an easy template for the installer which only looks for the most common Distros.
To get around this, you can open the installation file in a text editor and change "ubuntu" to "zorin" which will allow the installer to run all the way through.

well I'm glad I made a timeshift because my desktop just broke lmao

Broke how?

Wow. Yes, definitely a Graphics Driver issue, there. You could have removed the Driver.

yeah, but it's fine really, I've got a dualboot with windows, any way I can access zorin files through it?

I've never done it...:

So, did you find a solution? I also used Davinci on windows, i have amd radeon graphics card in my laptop. Have the same error.Screenshot from 2021-11-14 12-35-10

I am trying some other softwares, but the problem is of familiarity, old unfinished davinci projects and also that Davinci has many more features. Does kdenlive or any other software have any features for audio enhancements, noise reduction etc. which are available in Davinci?
