Blender and Resolve aren’t quite the same thing. Technically you can kinda force them to do the job of the other one, but they work really well together.
Blender would be for making your 3d models, animations, and actually rendering out the individual scenes. And then you’d import those videos into Resolve to edit them together, color grade, and mix the audio together.
Think about making dinner. Blender is your pan that you are cooking in, but you’d put the food on a plate first. Resolve is the plate and gives you tools to make it look nice.
I’m not sure about your specific Linux version but I run Ubuntu which is also based on Debian and both Blender and Resolve have native Linux clients that work really really well.
I can tell you’re new to both of these programs, so I would really recommend watching some tutorials. For blender there is Blender Guru and his famous doughnut tutorial, and for resolve DaVinci has a whole collection of tutorials which are really good!
Also, both blender and resolve (these are both reddit links, the Lemmy communities are pretty small) have very active communities to get help from! Ive only used blender a little bit, but I’m decent with resolve if you have any questions!
I didn’t mean for you to take the linked requirements as software recommendations but as two programs that can offer you a guideline for hardware requirements. If you just want to do 2D animations then you can get away with much less power.
I do believe MX Linux is based on Debian 12, so it should have a slightly old version of Blender available.
Here’s the reqs for Blender, another software that might be of interest
When you have blender, you certainly don’t need Da Vinci ??
And blender can work perfectly fine on Mx Linux l suppose ?

So Blender is used for the production stage while Da Vinci is used for post-production/finishing work ??
Mostly!
