The only problem in your case is the fact that Mojave would be the last supported update on your computer, and I am sure that in a couple of years there would be another macOS update that will be required as the minimum supported OS for Resolve.
You could go the Hackintosh route if you would like, but I am not a huge fan myself. So, if you can't stand Windows and you use programs that don't have a Linux version, I would say stick to macOS. Almost all video and audio programs that run on Windows have a macOS version. The good thing about macOS is that you don't have this problem. But every time I start Windows 10, I feel like I want to kill myself. However, I have to keep a Windows boot available for the couple of programs here and there that are not available on Linux (mainly iZotope audio tools). I use Linux daily and I use Resolve and Fusion on Linux and everything works really well. I have a PC because I personally prefer to build my own computers. You will have to look into the programs you use. And at that point you can just let out a long, wistful sigh, and boot the same system in Windows or Linux. You can buy almost the same hardware as you would have for PC, but still run macOS - at least for 4-5 years until the ARM transition is fully complete. So yeah, before you consider going to Windows, I'd strongly consider investigating a Hackintosh.

And then use Homebrew, macOS' best package manager, to install and keep updated the many thousands of open-source tools available. Even with Windows 10's improved PowerShell, and Window Subsystem for Linux, it's still not quite the same as being able to open a terminal (I use iTerm2, hands down the best terminal emulator I've ever used on any platform, including Linux) and run commands on your local system, using the full range of *nix command line tools. I entirely agree with you that the UNIX base of macOS makes it preferable to Windows. The only real limitation vs PC is that you'll be limited to AMD GPUs, as there's no NVidia support from 10.14 onwards. You need to take some care in buying hardware that is known to work, but there's plenty of options. There are many guides out there, including recent videos showing making a Ryzen-based system that rivals the new Mac Pro, for a fraction of the cost. This in my view gives the best of both worlds. That's what I do, and have been doing for many years.
You sound technically minded, so what about a Hackintosh?īuy PC components, run macOS on it.
