    It doesn't support GPU passthrough only virtual GPU

    Thanks for the heads up, Robert, but just to be clear, I can't use the GPU anyway, so would that make any difference in my case?

    I'm forced to render on the CPU even on Windows.

    The idea now is to install a minimal Debian/GNOME environment to act as my OS.  I would install everything I use to that OS and it would serve as my only OS.  The only exception being Daz Studio, which I could run from within that OS using GNOME BOXES running Windows 10.  So while there's no GPU passthrough, would that even matter in my case, and wouldn't doing it that way also allow me to get around the problem TimberWolf pointed out regards the dForce compilation thing?

    Daz Studio would be running in a Windows 10 environment just as it's meant to, and sure, no GPU, but we don't have that on AMD anyway, and at least GNOME BOXES allows dragging and dropping of files between the host OS and the hosted OS, so I was hoping it would just feel like it was running natively on the same OS even though Daz Studio would be running on Windows 10 inside of GNOME BOXES, inside of my main OS.

    Most probably wouldn't matter

    I hope you're right, cause I'm sorted if that happens to be the case.  I suspect I'm going to have some fun gettng DaVinci Resolve Studio to work on that setup, but I've read that others got it working in a Debian/GNOME environment after some trial and error.  What I don't understand is why there isn't a minimal download of Fedora, or I would have added GNOME to that and done it that way cause apparently DaVinci Resolve Studio prefers a Fedora base.

    DaVinci Resolve Studio nas a version for Linux

    Apart from Daz Studio, literally every program I use now has a native Linux installer.  The trouble with DaVinci Resolve Studio is just a dependency and configuration thing, so depending on your setup, you sometimes have to dig around and see how others have gotten it installed.

    That aside, I'm pleased to say I just found a whole page of minimalistic Fedora downloads.  Why on earth this page is not visible from the main menu on the website I have no idea, but wow, this lot could change everything since it looks as if I could install a minimal Fedora, add GNOME and GNOME BOXES to it, and with a bit of luck it will be a case of Ta-Daa!!!

    I reckon even DaVinci Resolve Studio would be easy enough to set up in that environment.  That's no doubt what it was added as a feature install for Nobara.

    For anyone like me who is wanting a minimal install, maybe take a look at this page (which is not shown on the menu of the website):
    Downloads for FEDORA MINIMAL and Other Miscellaneous FEDORA ISOs
